The approach focused on on-site observation of activities and tasks performed during the process. As an outcome, it was observed that companies implement activities similarly, regardless of their specific know-how. The most significant difference was identified in the cross-cutting operation, which is carried out in several steps and which interferes with the efficiency of the activity and the exposure of workers to occupational risks. The use of geographic information systems (GIS) during planning and management activities, and the use of modern machinery equipped with safety devices, in combination with workers\u2019 theoretic and practical continuous training, were identified as crucial measures that assure operational efficiency in the four companies assessed. Seeking to contribute to the sustainable development of the Amazon forest, a generic model for wood logging is proposed, which brings together best practices identified in the companies studied and makes it possible to obtain the best benefit at the lowest workers\u2019 exposure to the risk of occupational accidents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su12187571","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,14]],"date-time":"2020-09-14T09:04:53Z","timestamp":1600074293000},"page":"7571","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Wood-Logging Process Management in Eastern Amazonia (Brazil)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Killian S.","family":"Lima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Associated Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aeronautics (LAETA), Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP), Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5579-6550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana C.","family":"Meira Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CERENA and ISEP-School of Engineering, Polytechnic of Porto, Rua Dr. Ant\u00f3nio Bernardino de Almeida, 431, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8524-5503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.","family":"Santos Baptista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associated Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aeronautics (LAETA), Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP), Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7650-8375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulisses","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forestry, Federal University of Western Par\u00e1, Santar\u00e9m, 68040-255 Par\u00e1, Brazil"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"FAO and UNEP (2020).
