IMPROVING SAFETY AT WORK AMONG SMALL FOREST OWNERS
Abstract
The question of safety at work among small forest owners has long been an important activity of the Slovene Forest Institute, which is responsible for the public forestry service in Slovenia. Despite the newly adopted legislation, which also imposes certain obligations on farmers, the situation in this area is unsatisfactory in Slovenia, as is evident from the results of analyses of accidents at work in the population discussed. In addition to the observance of legislation, the most significant solutions to this problem are various forms of education and training (courses, lectures, printed materials...), which are regularly organized by the Institute in cooperation with other institutions.
