    Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is the most common occupational injury faced by computer users. Computer users faced
    higher possibility of getting RSI due to their prolonged working time and static posture. The three main objectives of
    this study are, first: to identify the prevalence of RSI among computer users; second, to investigate and determine the
    RSI risk factors; and third to analyze the association between RSI risk factors and the prevalence of RSI among computer
    users at a Telecommunication Company X. A total of 100 respondents were selected based on their daily exposure to
    computer usage of more than 4 hours. Nordic modified questionnaire was used to gather respondents’ sociodemographic
    data, job’s information, physical risk exposure, physical symptoms and their awareness level towards RSI.
    Body Parts Symptoms Survey (BPSS) form were also used to identify the body parts exposed to the RSI risk among
    computer users. The data was analysed using Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. Study results showed
    that the 41% of computer users in Telecommunication Company X felt tired at the upper-back near the neck and 38%
    at the shoulder region. In conclusion, the prevalence of RSI among computer users is high at upper back near the neck
    and at the shoulder region. There is a significant association between risk factors of RSI and the prevalence of RSI
    among the computer users at Telecommunication Company X.
