Background: The development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) associated with forestry operations is an alarming issue.
Objective: In the present paper, an attempt was made to assess the location and the prevalence of the MSDs in timber harvesting tasks.
Methods: The analysis of logging-related risk factors was carried out by observing working postures with the use of the assessment tool RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) during harvesting jobs.
