“…In some cases training programmes are effective and give satisfactory results in the reduction of frequency and severity of accidents (Bell, 2004;Neely and Wilhelmson, 2006;Tobisch et al, 2005;Albizu et al, 2010). However there are also cases when the effectiveness of such training programmes can not be proved because there are not significant differences in the accident rates between companies with training programmes in place and companies without them (Bell and Gruschecky, 2006;Thelin, 2002;Bell, 2004).…”

“…The accidents which remain in companies with training programmes in place are due to the quick rotation of employees that makes them ineffective (Bell and Gruschecky, 2006;Albizu et al, 2010). Due to the increased number of immigrant workers, especially in the forest sector, there is a lack of specific training and a precarious or irregular situation that facilitates the quick rotation (Blombäck et al, 2003).…”

Aim of study: to review the present state of the art in relation to the main labour risks and the most relevant results of recent studies evaluating the safety and health conditions of the forest harvesting work and better ways to reduce accidents.Area of study: It focuses mainly on developed Countries, where the general concern about work risks prevention, together with the complex idiosyncrasy of forest work in forest harvesting operations, has led to a growing interest from the forest scientific and technical community.Material and Methods: The main bibliographic and Internet references have been identified using common reference analysis tools. Their conclusions and recommendations have been comprehensively summarized.Main results: Collection of the principal references and their most important conclusions relating to the main accident risk factors, their causes and consequences, the means used towards their prevention, both instrumental as well as in the aspects of training and business management, besides the influence of the growing mechanization of logging operations on those risks.Research highlights: Accident risk is higher in forest harvesting than in most other work sectors, and the main risk factors such as experience, age, seasonality, training, protective equipment, mechanization degree, etc. have been identif ied and studied. The paper summarizes some relevant results, one of the principal being that the proper entrepreneurial risk management is a key factor leading to the success in minimizing labour risks.

“…It is due to the management's failure in appreciating the importance of safety training because they believe that the training has little effect in upgrading safety performance besides taking the employees' time off their work [14]. The matter became worse as some leaders not only refuse to support safety training, they also deny the fact that it is a very effective way of involving employees in workplace safety [15].…”

Abstract-This paper aims to investigate the role of safety training practices to safety performance in Malaysia's automotive industry. This study adopts a non-experimental type research which employs questionnaire as the method of collecting data. The measurement tool undertaken in the data collection is Safety Performance Scale that developed by Wu et al. (2007). A total of 696 employees from Malaysia automotive manufacturing and assembly plants are selected as the respondents of this study. The selection of respondents is made using systematic sampling design. Data of the study are then analyzed using canonical correlation analysis. The finding of the study highlights that safety training practices plays a significant influence to an organization's safety performance (r 2 = 0.631, p <0.001).Index Terms-Safety at work, safety training practices, safety performance, and malaysia's automotive manufacturing and assembly plants.

“…The new direction for training is blended learning (Stanca and Lacurezeanu, 2012), but it is suitable only for the leadership, not in the safety education of the industrial workers. Safety training and injury prevention are closely connected (Jonston et al, 1994;Bell and Grushecky, 2006). The human factor and worker's behaviour have to be considered (Dermol, 2013).…”
