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.

Assessing the Impact of Work Activities on the Physiological Load in a Sample of Loggers in Sicily (Italy)

Federica Masci et al.

Summary: Occupational logging activities pose significant risks to workers, including lifting heavy loads, sustaining awkward positions, performing repetitive movements, and having insufficient work breaks. This study investigated the impact of logging activities on physiological strain in a group of loggers, and found that tree felling was the most demanding task, with underestimated perception of physiological workload by experienced loggers.

Worker-fatigue contributing to workplace incidents in New Zealand Forestry

A. Hinze et al.

Summary: This study proposes an alternative approach to analyzing forestry incidents from the perspective of worker-failure and fatigue, revealing that a significant number of incidents are caused by worker-fatigue. The results will be used in a larger project on detecting fatigue in forestry workers for injury and incident prevention, and may be of interest for further fatigue prevention research in hazardous industries.
