In the Judgment at first instance on the 4th January 2008, at D on page 13, there is reference to Work Related Upper Limb Disorders: A Guide to Prevention:
This was a Health and Safety Executive booklet, whose title is self-explanatory. Its scope covers all types of upper limb disorders, but its focus appeared to be particularly on manual or production line work and does not as I saw it carry any specific or illustrative reference to keyboard work.
