  1. IUFRO International Symposium: Human Dimensions of Family & Farm Forestry March 29 - April 1, 2004 Serious Accidents in Slovenian Private Forests Mirko Medved Slovenian Forestry Institute Concurrent Session 5B. Sustaining Financial Viability, March 31, 10:25 -12:00

  2. Slovenia EUROPE

  3. The share of state forests on districts SFS, 2003 Slovenia: 0,8 mil. ha private forests 0,3 mil. s.-scale properties 0,1 mil. owners harvest/y. 1,5 mil. m3 annual cut Harvesting in private f.: - chain saws 100% - tractor skidding 90% - home use of wood > 60% All forests: 1,1 mil. ha = 60% of total area Growing stock: 283 m3/ha

  4. Our story - start Arhimed, 3rd century BC

  5. Serious& Fatal Accidents Detailed Forestry Planning OUR STORY Squaring the Circle Neverending Story Unskilled Bad-equipped Pure-dressed Selfconfi-dentForest Owners

  6. Database 1981 Data analyses, comparisons: Frequency/ region, time, age, sex.... Frequency/ work amount on regional level Structure of working phase Comparisons with other countries (Macro) economical evaluation Accident / education Data output from report: Time: year, period, month, week, day, days in week, hour Place: locality, community, forestry management region, county Injured person: sex, age, residence Working circumstances: process, operation, method, machinery, equipment,

  7. Analyzed data for 20 years (1981 – 2000) • Method for data output from reports • 32 variables • Database constantly updated • Other studies • Special surveys – state level: 1990, 1995 (n=865, n=916) • Key studies – local level: 1994, 2002 (n=60, n=58)

  8. Serious Accidents in Slovenian Private Forests First analyzed 1988 Economic evaluation (IUFRO,Tampere 1995) Two days cutting courses Analyzed data for 20 years (1981 – 2000)

  9. Time: years, days, hours

  10. Reported accidents by years

  11. Accidents with respect to days

  12. Accidents with respect to timeon working days and on weekends

  13. Forestry management regions Work amount

  14. Accident frequency on Slovenian Forestry Management Regions :9 Ms Sg Mb Bl Na Ce Kr Fatal accidents / 1 mil. m3 in period 1981-2000 To Lj Br 1: Po Nm Ko Se

  15. Frequency of fatal accidents regardingtothe volume of tree cut and forest area MS CE BR LJ SLO BL KR SE PO TO NM MB SG NA KO

  16. Structure of working phases

  17. structure Accidents 100% The all Cutting 59,8% Skidding 25,9% Transport 11,6% Other 2,7% Tractor 21,5% Manual 3,2% Animal 1,2% Full loaded 5,7% Loading 2,7% Not loaded 1,7% Other 1,5% Fuelwood production 2,0% Other 0,7% Felling 30,1% Hanged tree 13,1% Snow, ice, windfalls 7,9% Branching 5,5% Walking, preparing 3,2% Full loaded 9,6% Collecting 5,9% Not loaded 4,5% Other 1,5%

  18. The number of participants at accidents

  19. Age, sex of injured person

  20. Consequences of accidents by age groups

  21. Age and sex at fatal accidents

  22. Comparisons: our studies, other countries

  23. The frequency of accidents influenced by the size of the forest estate

  24. Comparison of the average private forest estatesize and frequency of accidentsin differentcountries ha n/10.000 m3 n/1 mil.m3 +

  25. Project Odenwald/Germany: Comparison between trained and untrained forest owners

  26. Costs

  27. Estimation of the total number and structure of accidents in Slovenian private forests in period 1981 - 2000 } • 280 Fatal accidents • 1.280 Severe acc. – dif. disability • 6.720 Severe acc. - light disability • 31.720 Other injuries 40.000

  28. The value of harvested wood in comparison with societal costs of accidents in the period 1980 – 2000 • Presumptions: • Fatal accid. = 500.000 € • Disability = 25.000 € • Other accid. = 2.000 € • 1 m3 wood = 50 €

  29. Our story - conclusion

  30. Measures for improving: • Not work if not skilled • Continuing with trainings • Many more training courses • Training moved to rural areas • Certified educational system • Bonus – malus insurance

  31. Vision: No accidents in forests
