Summary
Skilled worker who uses an axe or machinery to split logs into appropriate sizes for firewood.
Description
Wood splitter workers split felled logs into sizes suitable for wood stoves or heating firewood using axes, wedges, or log splitters (firewood splitting machines). The work is often outdoors or in forestry sites, requires physical strength to handle heavy logs, involves wearing safety equipment, and utilizes axe and machinery operation skills for efficient and safe work. Since the work environment changes greatly depending on the season or weather, adaptability and teamwork are also important.
Future Outlook
Labor force is decreasing due to aging and successor shortages, requiring the introduction of mechanization and labor-saving technologies. On the other hand, some demand for firewood is expected to be maintained due to the popularity of outdoor activities and wood stoves.
