  Background: The various components within the radiography practice pose different injury risks to radiographers in the course of performing diagnostic imaging examinations such as positioning patients in bed or on x-ray tables and lifting of heavy objects. These identified situations have a significant role in the development of RSS in radiographers Aim: This study aimed to establish whether radiographers at the study site experience Repetitive Stress Syndrome (RSS) in order to outline possible techniques to reduce the risk of RSS. Method: This was a descriptive survey and 68 radiographers consented to participate in the study.
