  1. Professionals/managers: reference group. RR indicates the RR of work injury for associate professionals/technicians (respectively clerks/service workers or blue-collar workers) in comparison with professionals/managers using various models
  2. All models adjusted for age. Bold RR and contribution: significant at 5%. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, ***: p < 0.001
  3. Model 1: Decision latitude + social support + reward + shift work + unsociable work days + predictability + physical violence + bullying + verbal abuse + demands for responsibility
  4. Model 2: Decision authority + social support (from supervisors) + esteem + job promotion + shift work + unsociable work days + predictability + physical violence + bullying + verbal abuse + demands for responsibility
  5. Model 3: Biological exposure + chemical exposure + physical exposure + biomechanical exposure
  6. Model 4: Biological exposure + chemical exposure + noise + thermic constraints + manual material handlings + postural/articular constraints + vibrations
  7. Model 5: model 1 + model 3
  8. Model 6: model 2 + model 4
