The particle-size analysis of wood dust created in the process of milling self-locking longitudinal joints was conducted in this research. High risk of dust particles harmful to the health is present on the wood machining positions. This threat occurs in the abandonment of the proper procedures for selection of dust collection equipment. There is a need for continued research on the quality of wood machining and its relationship to the threat to the health of workers due to the processing parameters and the type of material being processed.
