Cannabis Industry – Repetitive Motion Injuries for Extractors
From labor-intensive trimming and pruning processes to operating complex machinery, your clients in the cannabis extraction business face dozens of occupational repetitive motion injury risks!
Repetitive motion injuries that occur due to normal but repetitive movements. For cannabis extractors, repetitive motion injuries are often caused by tasks like trimming, pruning, and operating machinery like bud trimming machines and extractors. At the extraction stage, your cannabis industry clients might also perform repetitive movements like packing, filling, and labeling products.
When your cannabis industry clients frequently perform repetitive movements, they can suffer from repetitive motion injuries like:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Ganglion cysts
- Epicondylitis
In many cases, repetitive motion injuries can heal with rest and modifications. However, untreated or severe repetitive motion injuries can sometimes lead to permanent pain, and may affect a cannabis extractor’s ability to perform their key job functions.
