Musculoskeletal disorders are injuries of relevance in the working places as they cause temporary disability and absenteeism in employees. In the poultry industry, musculoskeletal disorders could be present in upper limbs due to the repetitive movements performed by its workers. Objectives: To determine the factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders in upper limbs in the workers of the poultry company Redondos S.A. Methods: An cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants were workers of both genders from the areas of chicken processing. A data collection form, a questionnaire to measure physical activity and the standardized Kuorinka Nordic Questionnaire for the reporting of musculoskeletal disorders were applied. We calculated adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) using Poisson regression models. Results: 126 workers, 37.1 ± 0.9 years average, 56.4% women, participated in the study. 50% reported shoulder pain, 48.4% in wrist and hand, 28.6% in elbow and forearm in the last 12 months. However, in the last 7 days, 69.4% reported pain in elbow and forearm, 34.9% in shoulder, and 19.8% in wrist and hand. Women (aPR: 3.78; IC al 95% 1.22 - 11.68), and those having a second job (aPR: 2.66; CI al 95% 1.37 - 5.15) were more likely to report pain in the upper limbs. Temperature in the work area (11° Celsius) was also a factor associated with upper-back pain (aPR: 0.50, 95% CI 0.27 - 0.90) in the last 12 months and in the last 7 days (aPR: 0.42, 95% CI 0.21 - 0.82). Conclusions: Factors associated with the presence of musculoskeletal disorders in the upper limbs on workers from a poultry company were being female and having a second job.
