Data entry clerks face the highest ergonomic injury rates among office workers, with 56% developing repetitive strain injury (RSI) symptoms within their first two years. Carpal tunnel syndrome affects 1 in 8 data entry workers, while 62% report neck and back pain. Workers performing over 90,000 keystrokes daily face exponentially higher injury risks. Early intervention through proper ergonomic training can reduce injury rates by up to 70%. Sources: Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, Workplace Safety & Insurance Board
Provincial occupational health and safety regulations specifically address repetitive work and computer use. Employers must provide ergonomic assessments and training for workers performing intensive data entry. WorkSafeBC and other provincial bodies require documented ergonomic programs for high-risk positions. Many data entry clerks work alone during evening shifts, triggering additional lone worker safety requirements.
Over 22,000 data entry positions exist across Canada, with consistent demand in healthcare, government, and financial sectors. Remote work opportunities have increased by 300% since 2020, creating new safety challenges for home-based workers.
