“…Forestry work, especially logging and extraction operations, is associated with a high risk of death or accidents, so safety, health and risk assessments seem to be the most popular among the social aspects of forestry operations. However, few studies address this topic, perhaps due to a lack of data, which may be an indicator of the growing relevance of social aspects [1,[28][29][30][31].…”

The advancement of mechanization in forestry has bolstered productivity within the sector while simultaneously precipitating impacts necessitating deeper comprehension for the attainment of heightened levels of environmental sustainability in forestry management. The aim of this study was to apply an instrument for assessing the environmental damage and impacts of forest harvesting in commercial Eucalyptus plantations, based on a combination of methodologies. The environmental impact assessment methodology for forest harvesting was applied by combining interaction network approaches and impact assessment matrices. This methodology was then applied to a commercial Eucalyptus plantation in the municipality of São Pedro, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The results show that timber transportation activities had the highest positive and negative environmental indices. The most significant negative impacts refer to the depletion of water resources and erosion, while the positive impacts are regional development and job creation. The most significant changes, both positive and negative, were observed in a greater number of environmental impacts for the physical and anthropic environment, with fewer for the biotic environment. The combination of methodologies has potential as an expedient tool for planning forestry operations, providing practical results for decision-making, making production more sustainable and applicable to different crops and production systems.

The advancement of mechanization in forestry has increased productivity in the forestry sector, bringing positive and negative impacts that require a deeper understanding for sustainable forest management. This study aimed to apply a simplified instrument for assessing damage and environmental impacts in forest harvesting of commercial eucalyptus plantations, using a combination of methodologies. The methodology used combined interaction networks and impact assessment matrices, carrying out field surveys, transposing them to interaction networks and weighting them through assessment matrices, resulting in environmental indices (ES) for prioritizing actions. The study was conducted on a commercial eucalyptus plantation in the municipality of São Pedro, São Paulo, Brazil. The mechanized harvesting of the area consists of the structure of a module with a mobile unit consisting of a harvester and forwarder. The results indicated that wood transport presented the highest ES, both positive and negative. The most significant negative impacts (ES) were the depletion of water resources and erosion, while the positive impacts included regional development and job creation. The most notable changes, positive and negative, were observed in the physical and anthropic environment, with a lesser impact on the biotic environment.

BACKGROUND: Despite constant technological evolution, the forestry sector is still characterised as one with the highest risk of occupational accidents. There is no doubt that accidents penalise workers considerably, as well as the companies, insurers, and, consequently, the society, to which many of the costs are externalised, namely in cases where the worker is incapacitated and unable to work. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work is to analyse data on occupational accidents in forestry operations in Brazil between 2007 and 2018 in both native and planted forests. METHODS: Data were made available by the Brazilian Statistical Directory of Accidents at Work. RESULTS: The results show that, although most accidents occurred in planted forests, mortality was higher in native forests. It was also found that, overall, the rate of serious accidents resulting in an incapacity to work and, consequently, sick leave is considerably high. CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight that integrating an occupational safety system into a forest management system is crucial for reducing work-related accidents in both native and planted forests. However, the success of this measure will only be effective if it is accompanied by a review of both the Brazilian labour policy and the Brazilian occupational safety management policy, to ensure compliance with legislation, mainly on the part of outsourced companies.
