The aim of this analysis is to highlight the development of occupational diseases and the impact of selected factors on development trend.

The most often represented disease in forestry is vibration disease. The total share of the three types of this disease (vibration disease of joints, bones, tendons and muscles; disease of blood vessels and nerves; other vibration diseases and combined diseases caused by vibration) accounts for up to 52% of all occupational diseases.
