| Abstract |
Launched in 1993, FORWORKNET is an international network of some 300 individuals and institutions in 70 countries interested in forestry workforce issues. The primary functions of FORWORKNET are to enable its members to communicate directly with each other and to open new opportunities for international exchange and cooperation. These functions are mainly achieved by helping members to locate sources of information, advice or assistance. The network regularly publishes relevant news and information updates. Main topics addressed in this update: research, practice, ergonomics and working conditions related to mechanization; brief reports from several countries (USA, Poland, Germany, Switzerland); research in the field of forestry machine cab glazing; reviews of conferences (safety and ergonomics, gender and forestry); informal work in the forestry sector. |
