Work safety and risk prevention in mechanical harvesting of olives
| Resumo: | The Northeast of Portugal is a mountainous region with an important olive production. Slopes difficult mechanical harvesting, being necessary to adopt strategies to face the problem. Special trajectories to move the harvesting equipment inside olive orchards are necessary when slopes increase the risk of accidents. These solutions are necessary for a safe work, but can jeopardize the equipment performance. Some of the solutions adopted are described, and consequences evaluated. |
