*The descriptive data are pooled across the maintenance and general areas of the worksite.

†Rater 1 is considered the gold standard. For items where there was a disagreement, the value that Rater 2 recorded is in parentheses.

**Percent Agreement = Rater 1 and Rater 2 agrees/(Agrees+Disagrees)

¶Present = 1; Absent = 0.

¶¶ Self-reported by garage coordinator. Inter-rater reliability was not measured.
