Measure
Relative risk (95% CI)
p-value
Model for warehouse employees, assessing job role and work site*
Forklift operator Reference
Packing and sorting fruit 2.7 (1.4–5.2) 0.002
Fruit packing support 2.4 (1.2–4.7) 0.015
Office 0.6 (0.2–1.9) 0.347

Work site A Reference
Work site B 6.8 (2.8–16.7) <0.001
Work site C 5.8 (2.5–13.9) <0.001
Model for all employees, assessing job role and housing location
Forklift operator Reference
Packing and sorting fruit 2.6 (1.4–5.0) 0.003
Fruit packing support 2.3 (1.1–4.5) 0.020
Office 0.6 (0.2–2.1) 0.404
Other warehouse (e.g., maintenance, cleaning, transportation) 0.7 (0.3–1.7) 0.433
Orchard work 1.2 (0.6–2.2) 0.663
Lives in community 2.8 (2.1–3.8) <0.001

Abbreviation: CI = confidence interval.

* Housing location was not included in this model because all warehouse workers resided in the community.

Work site was not included in this model because of collinearity for orchard workers.
