Abstract:In mechanized timber harvesting operations, it is possible to verify ergonomic inadequacies, such as poor visibility and inappropriate postures, which can cause risks to the safety and health of workers, with effects on the operational performance of the machines. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of the positioning of the coupling crane in harvesters concerning the visibility and postures of forestry operators. For this, the study was carried out in clear-cutting operatio… Show more
