Hygienic characteristics of work conditions in the manufacture of planer shavings (veneers) from exotic species of wood.

Results of investigation of the hygienic conditions of work in the manufacture of planer shavings (veneers) from exotic species of wood are reported. The manufacture is characterized by an unfavourable complex of environmental factors; noise exceeding the maximum admissible levels, high levels of relative humidity and temperature of the air and a complex of chemical compounds whose concentrations sometimes exceed MAC. A list of sanitary-hygienic and technological measures promoting and improvement of the working conditions in the manufacture of planer shavings (veneers) from exotic species of wood is presented.
