V. Advent — Appeals Resolution Officer

Worker v. Employer, 2015 CanLII 26007

Worker granted initial entitlement for bilateral de Quervain's tenosynovitis caused by repetitive casino dealing duties.

The worker, a casino dealer, appealed the denial of initial entitlement for bilateral de Quervain's tenosynovitis/tendonitis.

The worker claimed the condition developed gradually due to repetitive hand movements required for dealing cards and handling chips.

The Appeals Resolution Officer found that the worker's job duties involved constant gripping, pinching, and hand movements, which were compatible with the development of the condition.

The delay in reporting the injury was adequately explained.

The worker's objection was allowed, granting initial entitlement.
