Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves pre-sawing preparations at sawmills, including log selection, transportation, debarking, limbing, dimension measurement, and marking, to ensure smooth progress of sawing operations.
Description
Lumber pre-cutting workers specialize in pre-processing logs at sawmills or lumber processing factories. They appropriately select and transport logs, perform debarking and limbing, and then accurately measure and mark the required dimensions. These tasks directly impact the efficiency of subsequent sawing machines and drying processes, as well as lumber quality, so precise and safe work is required. They often use heavy machinery and tools, and skills in operating forklifts or cranes are also useful.
Future Outlook
While domestic lumber processing demand remains stable, skills in efficiency improvement and machine operation will become increasingly important due to advances in mechanization and automation.
