The aim of the present study is was to identify the relationship between work conditions and the occurrence of symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in administrative technicians who work in the rectory of a UFSM-RS. This research is about a descriptive study, of quantitative nature. The population consisted of 216 professionals in the rectory of a federal university. Data was collected through a survey instrument the person with al and functional data, followed by questions containing the checklist to analyze the conditions of the workplace to the computer developed by Hudson Couto et al and; the adapted Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. The data were analyzed with the help of SPSS software to perform statistical tests. The application of Couto Checklist considered the chair, desk, and video monitors with ergonomic good condition; support for the keyboard in a bad condition; the footrest showed poor ergonomic conditions. The test application of Qui-square and Fisher s Exact Test indicated the presence of significant pain in the neck, spine, shoulder, thoracic spine, wrist / hand and leg. The inadequacies presented by chairs, video monitors and tables make the presence of symptoms of pain / discomfort more significant. Regarding posture, the results were significant for the variables that have related inadequacies of the table on: height, mobile, distance eye / screen / keyboard, arm position and the wrists support. Pain in the neck, shoulders, chest and wrists / hands registered a higher incidence of pain generated by postural discomfort according to the servers of the rectory. With these results, the study provides evidence that furnishings and inadequate equipment on ergonomic criteria extend the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders. Moreover, the postural maintenance for long periods while working with computer constitutes another factor that contributes to the occurrence of pain in workers.
