Logging continues to be a major source of injuries in northeast China. This paper describes logging-related injuries in the Jilin Province of the People's Republic of China.
Logging fatalities and nonfatal injuries were summarized from 1981 to 1990 in Jilin. Injury data from 1991 for the entire forestry sector in China were also analyzed.
Fatalities were mainly from of head injuries and were caused by being struck by an object. Nonfatal injuries were most often to the lower extremities and the head and were normally caused by being struck by an object or a fall or slip. The majority of both fatal and nonfatal logging injuries occurred to workers with less than 1 year of employment and those under 35 years old. Most injuries occurred November through March in Jilin.
Patterns of logging injury in Jilin of China were similar, but not identical, to those described in other studies of logging injuries worldwide. Methods found to be effective in reducing logging-related injuries in other parts of the world might be used in China to reduce the injuries associated with logging.
在中国东北地区，伐木作业仍是主要的受伤来源。本文描述了中华人民共和国吉林省与伐木相关的伤害情况。
总结了1981年至1990年吉林省的伐木死亡事故和非致命伤害情况。还分析了1991年中国整个林业部门的伤害数据。
死亡主要是头部受伤，由物体撞击所致。非致命伤害最常发生在下肢和头部，通常是由物体撞击、摔倒或滑倒引起的。致命和非致命的伐木伤害大多发生在工作年限不足1年的工人以及35岁以下的人群中。在吉林，大多数伤害发生在11月至次年3月。
中国吉林的伐木伤害模式与世界其他地区伐木伤害研究中描述的模式相似，但并不完全相同。在世界其他地区被证明有效的减少伐木相关伤害的方法，可能在中国用于减少与伐木相关的伤害。
