Workers reporting safety representatives have greater odds of intermediate and high preventive action than no preventive action compared to workers who are unaware of safety representatives’ existence: intermediate preventive action adjusted OR = 2.87 (95% CI 2.39–3.44); high preventive action adjusted OR = 10.26 (95% CI 7.27–14.50). No differences are observed between workers reporting no safety representatives and those not aware of their existence: adjusted OR of intermediate preventive action was 0.88 (95% CI 0.72–1.06), and for high preventive action, 1.35 (95% CI 0.92–1.98) (Fig. 1).
