Objective: To analyze the epidemiological profile of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) and Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder (WMSD) in workers in the state of Bahia. Method: Epidemiological, descriptive study, substantiated by data extracted from the database of the Directorate of Surveillance and Attention to Occupational Health. Notifications referring to RSI/WMSD were included, covering the period from 2014 to 2018, in the state of Bahia. The variables studied were the sociodemographic characteristics and related to the health problem. Results: A total of 4,979 RSI/WMSD cases were investigated in workers, reported in the state of Bahia, from 2014 to 2018. Of these, 50.3% were men, 34.3% were aged between 40 and 49 years, 37.5% had mixed race/color and 35.4% were workers in industrial goods and services. It was also found that 72.5% had no change in the work environment and 76.4% had a workday >6 hours a day. Among the health-related variables that characterize the health problem, it was observed that 64.9% of workers performed repetitive movements, 83.1% showed decreased strength and 88.4% presented pain and 65.3% required time off. Furthermore, 74.3% evolved to temporary disability. Conclusion: It was found that in Bahia workers, RSI/WMSD seems to be more prevalent in males, between the age group of 40 to 49 years, in service workers, among those who did not show changes in the work environment and those who had long journey at work. In addition, the injury was mainly characterized by respective movements, decline in strength, pain and need to leave, as well as temporary incapacity.
