    Productivity in textile companies is directly influenced by human resource, which in turn is affected by working conditions in which they work, some of these conditions are the postures; therefore, this investigation objective is to relate postural risks with performance work level for operators at RIE company manufacturing area. The work was part of an applied investigation on a 22 operators population at manufacturing area, through a postural analysis with Rapid Upper Limb Assessment "RULA" method; While the work performance was analyzed through a study of times with timing back to zero, performance factor based on the Westinghouse system and supplements according to the recommended by OIT. Postural analysis results determined that 45.45% (10 workers) have a high risk level due to poor job design of the job and postural vices. Time study determined that the production capacity efficiency is not as expected, that is, less than 100%. Spearman's non-parametric test determined an inverse relationship level (-0,767) between the work performance and the positions adopted by the workers in their activities development, with a value of 0.010. Finally, it is concluded that work performance decreases as the level of postural risk increases; therefore, the investigated company must redesign its jobs.
