“…Picchio et al [7] and Halilović et al [33] found that the most common was damage ranging in sizes of 25-100 cm 2 ; Tavankar et al [6] found it to be 101-200 cm 2, and Tavankar and Bodaghi [27] found <10 cm 2 . The range of damage size (4.71-2486.88 cm 2 ) was similar to 4-2000 cm 2 as found by Sabo [80], smaller than 28-5250 cm 2 as found by Sabo [81], and higher than 12-600 cm 2 as found by Danilović et al [41].…”

“…The average size of the damage was 197.08 cm 2 , which is smaller than the 610 cm 2 found by Tsioras and Liamas [79], 608 cm 2 found by Sabo [81], 460.35 and 262.40 cm 2 found by Nikooy et al [25], and 228.29 cm 2 found by Sabo [80]; and higher than the 65.16 and 81.66 cm 2 found by Gurda et al [39], 92.26 cm 2 found by Halilović et al [33], 145.32 cm 2 found by Dudáková et al [8], 165.7 cm 2 found by Tavankar and Bonyad [31], and 145.4 and 176.6 cm 2 found by Danilović et al [41]. The most common was damage ranging in sizes of 50-200 cm 2 (45.45%), which was confirmed by Danilović et al [41] and Tsioras and Liamas [79] for one site with a share of 40.4%, while on the other three sites, damage of sizes >200 cm 2 were the most common. Picchio et al [7] and Halilović et al [33] found that the most common was damage ranging in sizes of 25-100 cm 2 ; Tavankar et al [6] found it to be 101-200 cm 2, and Tavankar and Bodaghi [27] found <10 cm 2 .…”

“…Additionally, the cut-tolength method causes less damage to the residual stand than the tree-length method [19,40]. The level of damage to the residual stand is influenced by the direction of assortments in relation to the skid road [41] as well as the working season [42].…”

The negative influence of timber harvesting on the forest environment is reflected through damage to the residual trees, regeneration, and forest soil. Considering that skidding, a popular extraction method, can cause substantial and severe damage to the remaining stand, the aim of this research was to determine damage to residual trees during skidding by an LKT 81T cable skidder, including oxen bunching. The research was conducted in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, in an uneven-aged mixed fir (Abies alba Mill.) and spruce (Picea abies L.) forest with pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) on limestone soils. Tree felling was conducted using a Husqvarna 372 XP chainsaw. Extraction operations caused damage to 6.31% of the residual trees in the stand. The most damage was “removed bark” (65.34%) and occurred on the lower parts of the tree, the butt end (55.11%) and root collar (32.39%). The average size of the damage was 197.08 cm2. A statistically significant correlation was found between the damage position and the diameter at the breast height (p < 0.05) and the damage position and damage size (p < 0.01) by Spearman correlation analysis. The conducted analysis by the chi-squared test showed that there is a statistically significant difference in the proportion of damage for trees with different distances to the nearest skid road (p = 0.0487), but the share of damaged trees did not decrease by increasing the distance from the skid road.

“…The forestry sector is one of the industries of the national economy with the highest injury risk. The specific working conditions in forests, involving the type of terrain, weather conditions, and the use of power tools and heavy machinery, make work hazardous, with a certain risk of serious injuries [1,2,3,4]. The risk of work-related injuries is very high in forestry jobs in general [5,6].…”

The aim of the paper is to analyse the effect of key factors affecting the risk of workplace injuries and to identify the most common workplace accidents regarding injured body parts with respect to anthropometric data measurements of the population. Data associated with workplace accidents over the years 2000–2016 were drawn from the records of the state enterprise Forests of the Slovak Republic, situated in Banská Bystrica. Gathered data were processed and entered into the database complemented by the data on accidents of the self-employed working in the forestry industry. A total of 1874 workplace accidents in the state enterprise were recorded and statistically evaluated during the analysis period. A method for contingency table was used to analyse correlation between qualitative (categorical) variables in the dataset. A Poisson regression model was used to determine the injury rate. Forest harvesting is considered the most risky phase of the process of harvesting, processing, and transport. The highest number of workplace accidents (31.8% of all recorded workplace accidents) occurred during the forest harvesting phase during the analysis period. Timber skidding, with 16% of recorded accidents, was the second highest-risk phase. The workplace injury rate in the forest industry in Slovakia decreased over the course of the years 2000–2016. Head and facial injuries were those with the highest rate (67.1% injuries of these body parts) during the phase of harvesting and skidding.

“…The high consequent risk through exposure to occupational hazards has informed the ergonomic improvement interventions worldwide (Ohlander et al, 2020). In countries, where data are available, forestry has consistently over the years been considered as one of the most hazardous occupations around the world (FAO, 1992;ILO, 1998;Klun and Medved, 2007;Ozden et al, 2011;Melemez, 2015;Danilovic et al, 2016;Grzywinski et al, 2016;HSE, 2021). While the sustenance of quality of labour, in particular, those in forest-based industries has become one of the major global concerns, most studies mainly focused on forest personnel, logging and primary conversion operations (Mitchell et al, 2008;Balimunsi et al, 2011;Tripathi and Upadhyay, 2015;Yovi and Yamada, 2019).…”

Over the years, forestry-related professions have been consistently considered as one of the most hazardous occupations around the world. Awareness to address this issue through ergonomic improvement interventions is increasing, yet insufficient information is available about ergonomic conditions of Nigerian carpentry and furniture-making (CFM) enterprise. This study evaluated the ergonomics of CFM at the Illoabuchi cluster sawmill/wood market in Port Harcourt, Nigeria using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The carpenters/furniture makers (CFMs) were exclusively males 51.9% of them were within the age of 26 and 35 years with 72.2% of them being married. The height of tables is weakly positively correlated with the height of CFMs (r = 0.250, p < 0.026), implying that a vast number of the tables used were not anthropometrically matched. The occupational hazard outcomes frequently suffered by the CFMs included bruised/hands cut (34.4%), back pain (25.9%), nasal infection (25.9%), muscle pain (8.6%), and eyes infection (5.2%). These findings provide evidence by which the ergonomical target interventions to reduce future hazards and also to lessen the impacts of previous hazards on CFMs can be implemented.
