OBJECTIVES
This paper investigates changes in the psychosocial and physical work conditions of the sawmill industry in British Columbia, Canada, over the past 35 years.
METHODS
Shifts in work conditions were examined within the context of historical changes in sawmill labor demography and job taxonomy as the industry was both downsized and restructured, largely in response to an economic recession in the early 1980s.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Downsizing eliminated approximately 60% of the work force and 1/4 of sawmill job titles. Although all the job categories in restructured sawmills showed increased levels of control, the gradient in control across job categories was steeper in 1997 than in 1965; this change may have important health implications particularly for the unskilled workers in the restructured mills.
目标
本文调查了过去35年加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省锯木厂行业心理社会和体力工作条件的变化。
方法
在锯木厂劳动力人口统计学和工作分类法的历史变化背景下，研究工作条件的转变。该行业在很大程度上因20世纪80年代初的经济衰退而进行了规模缩减和结构调整。
结果与结论
规模缩减使约60%的劳动力和四分之一的锯木厂工作岗位消失。尽管重组后的锯木厂所有工作类别都显示出控制水平有所提高，但1997年各工作类别之间的控制梯度比1965年更为陡峭；这一变化可能对健康有重要影响，尤其是对重组后工厂中的非技术工人。
