Safety at work is considered an integral part of the work process and a basic condition for productive work. Safety at work is carried out in order to preserve the unhindered physical and mental development of people and to protect against risks that can lead to threats and damage to health and impairment of the employee's ability to work. In the event of a disturbed relationship between man, machine and the work environment, there is a possibility of a risk arising in which a person will act incorrectly, which is why an accident occurs that can cause injury, damage or some other loss. When assessing the possible dangers to which workers in the wood processing industry are exposed, it is possible to conclude that the most common sources of danger are related to materials, machines, devices and the like that are located in the work room and in the work environment, on which the safety and health of employees depend. With the aim of successfully eliminating the previously mentioned dangers, and enabling safe work on machines, it is necessary to implement appropriate protective measures, which include the installation of protective devices in all places where there is a possibility and risk of injury at work (engagement of body parts or workers' clothing).
