Abstrakt

In the article, we want to point out the still existing safety and health risks in woodworking operations, the essence of which lies in processing of non-homogeneous materials such as wood, with anisotropic properties and the occurrence of natural wood defects, manual feed of the workpiece into the cut, tools with a large number of cutting edges and high cutting speeds, manual handling of loads, but also in many cases in the irresponsible approach of the employees or employers themselve to the OHS. Failure to address or avoid these risks leads not only to injuries, but long-term work in this environment to occupational diseases, especially hearing loss, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, etc. Although the legislation covers all areas in terms of OSH, its implementation in practice is lengthy and not always adequate. The basis for characterizing the existing safety and health risks was the manual "Risk Assessment Basics - Good for You, Good for Your Company", Check list for Woodworking. Based on the description, it is obvious that the safety risks in woodworking are known, but in many operations they tolerate, and due to health risks, minimal attention is paid to manual handling of loads and ergonomics, the neglect of which contributes significantly to diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
