“…As expected, manual and motor-manual work is physically the most demanding and deemed as moderate to heavy or very heavy from a physical workload standpoint [32,[42][43][44][45]. Mental workload is mostly associated with a higher level of mechanization.…”

Compiling the research on forestry ergonomics, which is still a marginal field in terms of the sheer volume of published forestry-related articles, gives a good foundation and guidance for future research and publishing. This review aims to compile, classify, and analyze forestry ergonomics publications in JIF (Journal Impact Factor) journals regarding their spatial and temporal distribution, observed operations, machines and tools, and risk factors. A reference period from 2014 to 2023 was observed in this study. The Web of Science Core Collection database was used to filter publications in the field of forestry and ergonomics. A total number of 102 articles were selected. After selection, data regarding publishing year, journal name, main field, country of origin, forest operation, machine/tool, and risk factor were noted. The number of articles is ever-increasing with the last four years having above average numbers of articles. Countries from Europe and South America (Brazil) have the most publications. Most of the journals are ranked in the top 50%. Harvesting, wood extraction, and pre-harvesting operations have the highest number of records. Chainsaw, skidder, and pre-harvesting tools are the most observed means of work. The risk factors with the highest percentage of records are workload (23%), noise (20%), vibration (20%), postural load (16%), and MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorder) occurrence (7%).

This article deals with the complex evaluation of a working environment. The aim of this paper is to find a mathematical model for a comprehensive risk assessment of a harvester operator. The developed model is based on the mutual evaluation of dependent and independent variables. The selected independent (explanatory) input variables of the model are the equivalent sound pressure level, peak sound pressure level, operative temperature, and mental stress. The selected dependent variable is the riskiness of the work, which we determined by means of heart rate variability evaluation. Based on the underlying measured data, we compiled a mathematical model that seems to be perspective. This model takes into account quantitative information on risk factors that can be determined by objectivization, as well as qualitative information on the health of the assessed person.
