HAZARD AND SAFETY AT WORK IN THE PRODUCT OF FIREWOOD

Zaštita na radu je smatrana sastavnim djelom radnog procesa te osnovnim uvjetom za produktivni rad. Zaštitu se na radu provodi radi očuvanja nesmetanog tjelesnog i mentalnog razvoja ljudi te zaštite od rizika koji mogu dovesti do ugroza i oštećenja zdravlja te narušavanja zaposlenikove radne sposobnosti. U slučaju poremećenih odnosa između čovjeka, stroja i radnog okruženja, postoji mogućnost nastajanja rizika u kojem će osoba pogrešno postupiti, zbog čega dolazi do nesreće koja može uzrokovati ozljedu, štetu ili neki drugi gubitak. Prilikom procjene mogućih opasnosti kojima su izloženi radnici u industriji prerade drva, moguće je zaključiti kako su najčešći izvori opasnosti vezani za materijale, strojeve, uređaje i slično koji se nalaze u radnoj prostoriji i u radnoj okolini o čemu ovisi i sigurnost i zdravstvena sposobnost zaposlenika. S ciljem uspješnog otklanjanja prethodno navedenih opasnosti, te omogućavanja sigurnog rada na strojevima, potrebno je provoditi odgovarajuće mjere zaštite koje obuhvaćaju postavljanje zaštitnih naprava na sva mjesta na kojima postoji mogućnost i opasnost od ozljede na radu (zahvaćanje dijelova tijela ili odjeće radnika).Safety at work is considered an integral part of the work process and a basic condition for productive work. Safety at work is carried out in order to preserve the unhindered physical and mental development of people and to protect against risks that can lead to threats and damage to health and impairment of the employee's ability to work. In the event of a disturbed relationship between man, machine and the work environment, there is a possibility of a risk arising in which a person will act incorrectly, which is why an accident occurs that can cause injury, damage or some other loss. When assessing the possible dangers to which workers in the wood processing industry are exposed, it is possible to conclude that the most common sources of danger are related to materials, machines, devices and the like that are located in the work room and in the work environment, on which the safety and health of employees depend. With the aim of successfully eliminating the previously mentioned dangers, and enabling safe work on machines, it is necessary to implement appropriate protective measures, which include the installation of protective devices in all places where there is a possibility and risk of injury at work (engagement of body parts or workers' clothing)
