“…Therefore, an analysis of injured body parts has to be carried out. According to many authors, the anthropometric parameters of the Slovak adult population have been increasing to date [29,30,31]. That is why the risk of workplace accidents in several forest operations has been affected as well.…”

The aim of the paper is to analyse the effect of key factors affecting the risk of workplace injuries and to identify the most common workplace accidents regarding injured body parts with respect to anthropometric data measurements of the population. Data associated with workplace accidents over the years 2000–2016 were drawn from the records of the state enterprise Forests of the Slovak Republic, situated in Banská Bystrica. Gathered data were processed and entered into the database complemented by the data on accidents of the self-employed working in the forestry industry. A total of 1874 workplace accidents in the state enterprise were recorded and statistically evaluated during the analysis period. A method for contingency table was used to analyse correlation between qualitative (categorical) variables in the dataset. A Poisson regression model was used to determine the injury rate. Forest harvesting is considered the most risky phase of the process of harvesting, processing, and transport. The highest number of workplace accidents (31.8% of all recorded workplace accidents) occurred during the forest harvesting phase during the analysis period. Timber skidding, with 16% of recorded accidents, was the second highest-risk phase. The workplace injury rate in the forest industry in Slovakia decreased over the course of the years 2000–2016. Head and facial injuries were those with the highest rate (67.1% injuries of these body parts) during the phase of harvesting and skidding.

“…It is the time constraints and workload of the operational staff of the vehicles that can cause an increased risk of work accidents. In terms of days of the week, the most risky one seems to be Tuesday [11]. Taking into account the planned time of ODVOZ and consumption of time per 1 m 3 , this parameter should also be allowed for.…”

“…Enterprise is a place where an activity contributing to the success of a business is held. In order to succeed there must be a person able to manage the business excellently (Bajzikova et al 2013;Bartuska et al 2016;Kampf et al 2016;Stopka et al 2016;Gejdos, Vlckova 2017;Grenčíková et al 2017;Joniaková et al 2017;Lizbetinova 2017;Zaborova et al 2017;Lizbetin 2018;Papula et al 2018;Sertić et al 2018;Anyakoha 2019;Hasan et al 2019;Matzembacher et al 2019). All efforts must be given to employees as the human resources are considered the greatest asset of the business (ShaemiBarzoki et al 2012;Fernández-Olmos, Díez-Vial 2015;Sheehan et al 2016;Urbancova et al 2016;Jankelová et al 2017;Kampf et al 2017;Kucharcikova, Miciak 2017;Nemec et al 2017;Bencsik et al 2019;Kimengsi et al 2019;Paluš et al 2019;Sedliačiková et al 2019;Stachová et al 2019).…”

Enterprise is a place where an activity contributing to the success of a business is held. When an enterprise wants to succeed, achieve goals and to develop, employees must be in the centre of its attention. According to current trends, human resources are considered the most important of all the assets the organization possesses. Employee motivation can lead to high employee performance, effectiveness, quality, subsequent organisation success, and development. The research aimed at defining the differences in perceiving the level of motivation in terms of selected socio-demographic features was conducted in the Slovak enterprises over the course of the years 2015 -2018. Following the achieved results, when creating the motivation programmes not only the gender but also the education completed by the employees must be taken into account by the senior managers.
