Dramatic

are now facing almost a 25% increase in the number of
workplace fatalities in 2005.

You are typing at your
PC when you start to feel a tingling sensation in your hands and your neck
muscles begin to ache. You ignore it and work on because you must finish
that report. Stop! You may be experiencing the early symptoms of a MSD.

Q.
I have just come to terms with the requirements of the
1989 Act and now I hear I have to start all over again
with the new 2005 Act. Is there a lot of change and what
extra do I need to do?
Help!
Marie HR Manager Wexford.

Q.
I am the
manager of a busy Cork city centre office. I was asked if we carry out
PAT testing in the office as it is a legal requirement. Can you tell me
what is PAT testing and do I have to carry it out?
Regards, George
