Synopsis (short abstract) Forestry developments in tropical and sub-tropical conditions involve heavy manual work in a hot environment. These climatic conditions impair the work capacity of the forest labour force. This is known both by practical experience and by physiological evidence. Moreover, heat is also a threat to the health and wellbeing of the workers.

Managing heat in agricultural work
Increasing worker safety and productivity by controlling heat exposure
2018

Also available in:

No results found.

This report reviews the implications of heat stress in working environments in agriculture (with a focus on farming and forestry), how it affects the human body, the risks it poses to human health, how it is measured, how it affects labour productivity, and how it can be managed. Managers often disregard heat stress as an occupational hazard, and workers therefore often have to handle this aspect of the work environment themselves. Heat stress has a negative effect on worker performance, and exposure to severe heat stress can be fatal; nevertheless, it can be greatly reduced with proper work organization and education.

Occupational safety and health in forest harvesting and silviculture

The present working paper is primarily intended for producer organizations, trade unions, vocational training institutes, extensionists, instructors and relevant public bodies.The document addresses the forest as a work place, safety culture, workplace assessment, accident prevention and management, child labour, gender issues and selected health and safety issues. Reliable statistics on accident and fatality rates in forestry are missing, data available however indicates that forestry is a high-risk occupation. Workplace conditions in forestry are a function of site conditions, climate, weather, terrain and tree characteristics. The fundamentals of accident prevention are reduced hazard exposure and worker safety training. The first is achieved through risk assessments to identify hazards. Workers should be prepared for accidents at all times. Accident analysis is done to identify what occurred, the causes of the accident and how similar accidents might be avoided in future. Child labour is a human-rights issue and relevant to occupational safety and health. Reliable data on child labour in forestry is almost completely absent. Women in forestry can be exposed more often than men to musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory diseases and reproductive disorders due to chemical exposure. Women generally have a working capacity one-third lower than men. Heat stress occurs when the body is unable to dissipate heat to its surroundings. Heat stroke is the most serious health risk posed by heat stress. Risks and hazards associated with NWFPs derive from activities like climbing, cutting with sharp tools, digging and gathering, picking, and long and/or heavy manual transport.

Logging and Log Transport in Tropical High Forest: A Manual on Production and Costs 1974

Also available in:

No results found.

Written information on methods, production and costs of logging and transport in the developing parts of the world, especially for opetations in tropical high forest, is scarce as compared to that available for industrialized countries. The first purpose of this paper is to focus attention on the analytic approach needed for the quantification of output and cost and on the influence of physical and economic conditions on production. The second purpose is to present production and cost data as fa r as available information permits.
