“…This result is in line with those of other studies (Iizuka et al,1990;Exadaktylos et al, 2002;Hächl et al, 2002;Eggensperger et al, 2006) because male workers were more frequently engaged in physical and dangerous work than female workers. However, age distribution was somewhat different from previous studies (Iizuka et al, 1990;Hächl et al, 2002;Eggensperger et al, 2006), which frequently involved young or middle-aged workers. In the present study, patient age was distributed even from the twenties to sixties.…”

“…A similar result was reported in study conducted in central Switzerland (Eggensperger et al, 2006). A previous study (Mitchell et al, 2002) reported that farm-related injuries were caused by motor vehicle and tractor accidents.…”

“…A previous study (Mitchell et al, 2002) reported that farm-related injuries were caused by motor vehicle and tractor accidents. Another study (Eggensperger et al, 2006) showed that injuries occurred as a result of being struck by an object or animal. The present study showed that injuries were mostly the result of being struck by an object such as wood and branches and trees or falling from one level to another.…”

“…An understanding of these features may inform clinical research in the development of more effective treatment for, and the prevention of, these injuries. Few studies have exclusively analysed maxillofacial fractures due to work-related accidents (Iizuka et al, 1990;Exadaktylos et al, 2002;Hächl et al, 2002;Eggensperger et al, 2006), leading to limited information on work-related maxillofacial fractures.…”

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.
