Nowadays private forests in Poland cover about 17% of all forested areas, and their share increases steadily. The average area of private forest in Poland is about 1 hectare. It is owned by a farmer, who works in it for at most several days a year, mainly performing timber harvesting. The aim of the study was to show the real state of work safety at the process of timber harvesting in the private forests. The study involved formal entitlements (licenses), equipment of the lumberjacks and technique of their work. The study analyses 14 forest workers on three sites: Ryki and Garwolin (central Poland) and Nowogród (eastern Poland). The results show a sad picture, far different from that prevailing in the State Forests. None of the investigated persons had any formal entitlements to operate the chainsaw. Only one employee had a helmet and trousers with cut protection pads. The lumberjacks were generally equipped with petrol chainsaws and axes. In most cases, they did not have any other auxiliary equipment. Operation technique used to perform tree felling, delimbing and crosscutting in many cases was only the result of observations of other (equally incorrectly trained) workers. The risk of an accident in such cases was very large. The reason for this is mainly the high cost of training and the lack of 'climate of work safety' in the media that are available free of charge. It is necessary to take immediate and effective action to limit such a risk.
