Tree-harvesting worker data of 508 separate worker accidents are analyzed and an exploratory approach taken. The worker accident data cover a sample of five years. The scope of the study was the southeastern United States of America. As might be hypothesized, the chainsaw was the most hazardous type of tree-harvesting equipment. It accounted for 55％ of the tree-harvesting accidents. Most chainsaw accidents resulted in injuries to the lower extremities and were more frequent among younger employees. The probability of one or more chainsaw accidents occurring in any 30-day period was approximately 0.856. Chainsaw accidents were more likely to occur in late morning and early afternoon. We used statistical tools such as Pareto charts, c-charts and Ishikawa diagrams. Such tools are useful in diagnosing the root-cause of tree-harvesting worker accidents and help in developing preventive safety programs. Recommendations to help improve the quality of information of accident data collected by insurance companies and others are briefly given. The strategy and culture of continuous process improvements are stressed.

The treatment outcome remains poor of severe facial injuries because of the high risk of compromised airway or massive bleeding. We experienced two successful treatment cases of severe facial injury by the chainsaw. A 52-year-male had his face injured by the chainsaw during his work. He was transferred to the Level I trauma center using the Doctor-Helicopter. During his flight, bleeding control was tried and the information was given to the trauma surgeons before his arrival. His consciousness was alert and the vital signs were stable. The crushing wound, mandible open fracture, deep laceration of tongue, lip, neck and arterial bleeding were noted around his mandible. Nasotracheal intubation was performed under the bronchoscope-guided. Emergency operation (open reduction & internal fixation, primary repair with neurorrhaphy) was performed. At 30 hospital days, he was discharged with facial palsy on left mandibular area. A 30-year-male had his face injured by the chainsaw. He was transferred to our Level I trauma center from the local hospital. The deep-mutiple lacerations on right upper eyelid and forehead with the bony exposure were noted. The vital signs were stable and emergency operation was performed. He was discharged at 20 hospital days. Bone loss or tissue loss were not devastating than we expected even though the injury was occurred by the chainsaw. Aggressive treatment including airway manipulation or bleeding control and maximal opportunity of therapy are absolutely needed.

본 연구는 체인톱에 의한 산림작업 안전사고 저감을 위하여 산림작업복 하의 4개 품목을 대상으로 작업복 17개 부위의 수축률을 측정하였다. 추가적으로 품목 및 반복세탁횟수에 따른 산림작업복의 하의의 적합성을 검토하고 반복세탁을 통한 산림작업복의 사용권장 기간을 제시하였다. 산림작업복 하의 4개 품목의 반복세탁에 따른 수축률 결과, 대부분의 품목이 세탁 20회에서 수축률 기준인 6%가 초과되는 부위가 1개소씩 발생하였으며, 가로방향 측정부위가 세로방향 측정부위보다 더 크게 수축되었다. 또한 산림작업복 하의 수축률의 영향을 미치는 인자로는 반복세탁횟수(p<0.05)와 측정부위(p<0.05)로 나타났으며, 측정부위별 수축율에 있어서 총 5개 부위(a, b, g, j, n)가 반복세탁횟수와 유의성이 있는 것으로 (p<0.05) 나타났다. 따라서, 산림작업복 하의의 사용 권장기간은 10개월 정도로 판단되며, 추후 반복세탁횟수와 측정부위와의 관계를 상세 분석하여 산림작업복 하의의 내구성에 대해 검토할 예정이다.

The usual cause of penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries with evisceration are stab wounds with knives and other sharp weapons used during fights and conflicts. Evisceration of the abdominal viscera as a result of trauma, with its attendant morbidity and mortality, requires early intervention. Gunshot wounds can also cause penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries. We report the case of a 52-year-old male patient, a worker at a timber-processing factory, who was assaulted with a chainsaw by his colleague following a disagreement. He was seen at the accident and emergency department of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Nigeria with a thoracoabdominal injury about 1.5 hours after the attack. He had a left thoracoabdominal laceration with abdominal evisceration and an open left pneumothorax. He was managed operatively, made a full recovery, and was discharged 16 days after admission. He was readmitted 4 months after the initial surgery with acute intestinal obstruction secondary to adhesions. He underwent exploratory laparotomy and adhesiolysis. He made an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the 9th postoperative day for subsequent follow-up.

The productivity and cost of clear cutting operations were examined to broaden our knowledge on the harvesting system in a Larix leptolepis stand of Korea. The harvesting system was divided into tree operations which were chainsaw (STIHL MS440) felling, tower yarder (Koller301-4) yarding and harvester (WOODY H50) processing. The average cycle time of felling, yarding and processing were 98 s/cycle, 245 s/cycle and 150 s/cycle. The total stump-to-pile operational productivity was 43.07 $m^3/hr$. The highest production activity was the felling 17.93 $m^3/hr$, followed by the productivity of processing 15.62 $m^3/hr$ and then by the productivity of yarding 9.52 $m^3/hr$. In addition the total stump-to-pile operational cost was 24,086 $won/m^3$. The highest cost activity was the yarding 14,557 $won/m^3$ (60.4% of the total cost), followed by the costs of processing 8,461 $won/m^3$ (35.2%) and then by the costs of felling 1,068 $won/m^3$.

This study was conducted to analyze the physical strain with heart rate monitor in timber harvesting operations in order to reduce occupational accidents. The timber harvesting activities are manual cutting(felling, limbing and bucking) with a chainsaw and extraction by cable yarder. The study took place on Japanese larch stand. The average height was 26m and average diameter at breast height(DBH) was 3 7cm. The havest unit was gentle slope to steep slope. Results showed that the heart rate increases for chocking, felling, limbing and bucking were 94.0%, 87.9%, 84.8% and 56.4% respectively. The rate of Work Load Index was higher in the limbing(61.4%) activity than other activities chocking(55.2%), felling(54.1%) and bucking(32.1%). During 50% working heart rate test it was found that limbing(1.09), chocking(1.05) and felling(1.04) was exposed to high work intensity compared to bucking(0.83). The results showed that maximum acceptable work times(felling, chocking and limbing) were 2.30 hour, 1.85 hour and 1.60 hour respectively. To avoid occupational accidents, timber harvest workers may use a suitable working hour schedule to felling, chocking, limbing.

본 연구는 강원도 평창군 가리왕산의 낙엽송 인공림을 대상으로 효율적인 임목수확시스템 구축을 위해 타워야더(Koller K301-4)에 의한 전간간벌수확시스템의 생산성 및 비용분석을 실시하였다. 수확시스템은 벌목, 가지정리, 집재, 조재, 집적작업으로 구성하여 요소작업별 비용을 분석하였다. 총 수확비용은 41,707원/$m^3$으로서 벌도작업비용 1,315원/$m^3$(3.2%), 가지정리작업비용 3,127원/$m^3$(7.5%), 집재작업비용 20,083원/$m^3$(48.2%), 조재작업비용 12,143원/$m^3$(29.1%), 집적작업비용 5,039원/$m^3$(12.1%) 등으로 구성되었다. 수확시스템비용 중에서 가장 높은 비중을 차지하는 집재작업에 대하여 평균집재시간 예측모델식을 개발하여, 수확시스템비용에 대한 인자별 영향력 분석을 위해 민감도분석을 실시하였다. 인자별 수확시스템비용에 대한 증감율은 가로집재거리가 약 5.2%, 세로집재거리는 약 3.0%의 증가를 규칙적으로 나타내었다. 집재본수는 많아질수록 수확시스템비용 증감율의 폭은 작아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 집재본수 4~5본에서 감소폭 둔화현상이 발생되었다. 따라서 집재본수인자가 수확시스템비용에 가장 큰 영향을 미치고, 다음으로 세로집재거리인자와 가로집재거리인자의 순으로 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
