PHYSIOLOGICAL WORKLOAD OF WORKERS EMPLOYED DURING MOTOR-MANUAL TIMBER HARVESTING IN YOUNG ALDER STANDS IN DIFFERENT SEASONS

Witold Grzywinski et al.

Summary: This study investigated the physiological strain experienced by workers employed in motor-manual timber harvesting performed in winter and summer, and evaluated the applicability of heart rate indices in estimating energy expenditure. The results showed significantly higher physiological workload and energy expenditure during winter. The conclusion suggests that season significantly affects the physiological workload in logging operations and emphasizes the importance of proper organization of work and selection of workers to limit workload during winter activity.

Chainsaw operators' exposure to occupational risk factors and incidence of professional diseases specific to the forestry field

Marius D. Iftime et al.

Summary: This study examines the influence of occupational risk factors, including noise, hand-arm vibration, wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index, and exposure to particulates, on health and occupational disease. Measurements and medical evaluations reveal that several risk factors exceed legal limits, and various occupational diseases are identified.

APPLICATION OF PHOTOMETRY IN DETERMINING THE DUST MASS CONCENTRATION OF HARDWOODS

Anka Ozana Cavlovic et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the photometric method for different types of woodworking machines in measuring the mass concentration of inhalable dust. It was found that photometry underestimates the mass concentration measured gravimetrically, with the need for correction factors for specific woodworking machines.

Vibration and Noise Exposure during Pre-Commercial Thinning Operations: What Are the Ergonomic Benefits of the Latest Generation Professional-Grade Battery-Powered Chainsaws?

Martin Huber et al.

Summary: The study found that battery-powered chainsaws can significantly reduce operator's noise and vibration exposure during pre-commercial thinning tasks compared to combustion-driven chainsaws. However, further reduction in vibration exposure is needed for battery-powered chainsaws, and additional measures must be implemented to comply with safety standards regarding noise exposure.

Wood Dust Exposure Levels and Respiratory Symptoms 6 Years Apart: An Observational Intervention Study Within the Danish Furniture Industry

Gitte Jacobsen et al.

Summary: The study indicates that a 40% decline in wood dust exposure over a 6-year period may lead to a decrease in most respiratory symptoms, but does not seem to have a significant impact on the prevalence of self-reported asthma.
