Analysis of occupational accidents during the chainsaws use in Andalucía
2021, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :Nevertheless, most of the research is focused on injuries or accidents in the forestry sector in general or in some of the phases mentioned, but it does not focus directly on the chainsaw. Thus, several investigations have been carried out in different countries such as United States focused on logging injures and fatal accidents (Myers and Fosbroke, 1994) or in characterization of logging injures (Lefort et al., 2003). Also in this country, Wilmsen et al. (2015) carried out a study of occupational injuries and illnesses, medical treatment and general working conditions for forestry workers.
Risk factor analysis of fatal forest harvesting accidents: A case study in Turkey
2015, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :There is an urgent need for a well-trained, certified forest workforce which can successfully cope with the requirements of a modern, sustainable multi-functional forestry industry (Tsioras, 2010). The identification of training priorities might be conducted at a national (Bentley et al., 2002), regional (Myers and Fosbroke, 1994) or state (West et al., 1996) level; however, the most effective approach is probably the local, case-by-case study (Bordas et al., 2001; Montorselli et al., 2010). Unlike traditional safety training, a short module on the forestry job layout and work practices which combines both prevention and work efficiency can help loggers better plan tasks and become more knowledgeable about the safest, most productive ways to accomplish their work (Chapman and Husberg, 2008).
The epidemiology of fatal occupational traumatic brain injury in the U.S.
2011, American Journal of Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :There is a limited amount of research on logging injuries; the focus generally has been to document the injury problem and describe the most common injury scenarios.29–32 This analysis confirmed that despite earlier documentation of the highly hazardous nature of logging activities, there has been a lack of substantial progress toward declining rates.33,34 In Wrona's analysis of work-related traumatic brain injuries, it was suggested that it would be worthwhile to review prevention efforts in logging and other industries where relative risks are more than 25 and have not changed since 1990.7
Relating safety, productivity and company type for motor-manual logging operations in the Italian Alps
2010, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :To avoid this, one should design dedicated courses targeting specific safety-related behaviors (Komaki et al., 1978), after these have been properly identified (Killimett, 1991). The identification of training priorities may be conducted at a national (Bentley et al., 2002), regional (Myers and Fosbroke, 1994) or state (West et al., 1996) level, but probably the most effective approach is the local, case-by-case study (Bordas et al., 2001). In fact, if one of the main purposes of training must be behavioral change, it is crucial that the course be interesting and convincing enough, since both enforcement and positive reinforcement (Catania, 2000) are very difficult to administer to crews typically working in isolation (Olson and Austin, 2001).
