| Abstract |
The Mesopotamia (or Littoral) region of Argentina was selected for this pre-study on the working conditions and work environment in sawmills, considering that 46.3% of the enterprises listed at the national level are located in this region. The objectives of the study were to describe and analyse work processes and organization, and to evaluate the infrastructures, machinery protective systems and main hazards (physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and related to work organization) inherent to the various process steps. The report is also available in electronic form on a CD-ROM (in PDF format). |
