Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a disease that can cause pain and numbness in the wrists to a loss of hand functionality, causing sequelae that may be irreversible. In the workplace, the most common risk factors that generate this pathology are dysergonomic. In the case of workers in the agroindustrial sector in Cotopaxi, Ecuador, they carry out extra-work activities such as washing clothes, milking cows, cleaning activities, etc., for Therefore, the objective of this study was to know the extra-work risk factors (FRE) for developing STC in an agroindustrial company in the province of Cotopaxi of Ecuador. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out on court and administrative workers, with a sample of 282 workers, the information was obtained through medical records and data collection forms, which have been processed in the SPSS program. In addition, the Pearson Chi square test was used to search for the existence of a statistically significant relationship between the FRE and STC. Results: 53.1% of workers presented CTS and 45.7% presented FRE; In cutting workers, the main FRE were milking cows (19.1%) and cleaning activities (18.4%), in administrative workers it was hand sewing (10.6%). The results were statistically significant, obtaining p<0.005. Conclusions: The development of STC is related to exposure to FRE, so improvements must be implemented at the business level in addition to occupational health management measures to prevent workers from being exposed to FRE and putting their health at risk
