Occupational injuries disproportionately impact workers of the textile industry in low-income countries. The present study investigates the prevalence of non-occupational injury and its associated factors among workers in an integrated textile industry in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 17–26 May 2021. A total of 311 workers were eligible for participation. The information was collected through an interview-administered questionnaire. The findings were presented with descriptive statistics and the relationship among variables was assessed with multi-variable analyses. A total of 291 (93.6%) participants were interviewed. The prevalence of non-fatal occupational injury was 11% [95% CI: 7.7–15.5] in the past 12 months. The hands and fingers were the most affected body parts. Male gender [AOR: 3.40; 95% CI (1.13–10.5)], the age group of 18–29 years [AOR: 6.69; 95% CI (1.35–32.7)], sleeping less than seven hours in a night [AOR: 2.67; 95% CI (1.03–6.97)], machine-based jobs [AOR: 3.59; 95% CI (1.02–12.6)], the workplace housekeeping [AOR: 5.87; 95% CI (1.45–23.8)], and inadequate empowerment to prevent injury accident [AOR: 4.6; 95% CI (1.01–20.9)] were associated factors with occupational injury. The prevalence of non-fatal occupational injuries is lower than the previous studies among textile workers. As a result, improving workplace safety, changing sleeping habits, and empowering workers to participate in injury prevention should be a priority in intervention.
