“…To what extent the operators are adapting themselves to such variations in temperature and humidity and the extent to which such working conditions would affect their health need to be questioned, probably by running epidemiological studies in addition to quantifying microclimate variables. In this regard, a similar study [9] pointed out that microclimate variables were found in their limits for wood extraction operations by skidders. Still, the same authors stated that nearly one third of the observed workers were found to suffer from occupational diseases, namely osteomusculoskeletal, heart, and respiratory conditions.…”

“…Indeed, it is highly challenging to bring forward data on what would be the temperature and relative humidity at which different persons feel comfortable, and temperatures of 20-24°C are considered suitable for indoor environments during winter [8]. For this reason, many judgments are made based on the available legislation, although workers in forest operations still suffer from various disorders [5,6], [9]. From these points of view, the variability and magnitude shown by the results of this study on temperature and relative humidity may be of concern for the health state of the skidder operators.…”

“…Desta forma, pode-se dizer que os valores encontrados mostram também, que a rotação utilizada é diretamente proporcional ao nível de ruído gerado pelo equipamento, sendo que, na utilização de tratores agrícolas este agente físico é proveniente de peças que vibram e do motor do equipamento (POJE; GRIGOLATO;POTOČNIK, 2019;IFTIME et al, 2020). Nota-se que que houve um aumento de 7,13% e 7,34 % em T e T+D, no intervalo de 1100 a 1900 rpm respectivamente.…”

“…Nas operações de colheita florestal, as causas de acidentes ocupacionais que mais se destacam estão associadas às atividades de abate de árvores e de transporte de madeira e os acidentes mais frequentes estão associados a, pelo menos, um dos seguintes fatores (Albizu-Urionabarrenetxea et al, 2013;Buczaj et al, 2020;Cividino et al, 2013;Enez et al, 2014;Gejdos, M.;Vlckova, M.
