Hospitals battle against infection

The NHS seem to be under constant media attention. Reports yesterday warned of the increase in Clostridium difficile infection in Scottish hospitals. With new figures on hospital diseases being reported every week, the battle against bugs and germs is becoming harder.

Keytools can offer support to hospitals, and anyone else, who would like to prevent the spread of infection through computer equipment.

Microban keyboards and accessories contain antibacterial technology to ensure continuous protection from potentially harmful germs. Another solution is the use of washable computer accesories . These can be held under running water and can even withstand hospital strength disinfectant.

If you'd like to learn more about infection control please visit the Keytools website or call us on 023 8029 4500.

The BigTrack Ergonomic Mouse



"It's a mouse that looks like a fried egg." That's how some customers describe it. And it does! But it's much more than that.

The BigTrack is really popular in schools as it's tough enough to withstand everything a class of children can throw at it! Also the huge trackball makes it easy for new computer users to move the cursor round the screen. Children seem to love the bright colours too.

The BigTrack Ergonomic Mouse only requires the slightest touch, so is especially beneficial for computer users who find it difficult to use a standard mouse due to:
  • Arthritis
  • Repetitive Strain Injury
  • Lack of fine motor skills
  • Poor hand-eye coordination
The two oversized mouse buttons are equally easy to use, and due to their location behind the trackball, will avoid accidental mouse clicks.

If you struggle to use a standard mouse, then the BigTrack Ergonomic Mouse may be the solution.

Call us on 023 8029 4500 for more information or click here to be taken to the Keytools website.

New study reveals injury from computers a concern for employees


A study by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has revealed that injuries and illness caused by computers are the biggest safety concern for the UK workforce today.

MSD a major hazard
2,500 Safety Representatives cited Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) as a major hazard and one which continues to get worse. 40% of those surveyed identified Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) as a growing concern and the third most identified problem. Back strain came in fifth as another cause for concern for UK employees.

Managing Health and Safety
The TUC recommends that the government and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) should invest in developing a strategy to make places of work a safer place to be, as well as supporting those suffering from work-related injury.

Damaging cost to businesses
The TUC General Secretary, warned, "Unions and employers must work together to combat this as it can have a huge personal cost to workers and a damaging cost to businesses."

To find out how more about preventing work-related injury call Keytools on 023 8029 4500 or view our helpful Repetitive Strain Injury information.
