The worker, a long-haul truck driver, appealed a decision denying initial entitlement for right wrist carpal tunnel syndrome.
The worker argued that prolonged gripping of the steering wheel and vibration exposure were significant contributing factors to the injury.
The Appeals Resolution Officer found that the worker's duties did not involve significant, repetitive, frequent, and forceful wrist movements, noting that the worker maintained a predominantly neutral posture while driving and had multiple non-driving periods.
The appeal was denied, as the evidence did not establish that the injury arose out of and in the course of employment.
