The process of mechanization of forest harvesting started strongly in the 90's with the opening of importation of machinery from Brazil to countries in North America and Scandinavia. As a result, it has brought many benefits to the forestry sector in the country; however these benefits came with various challenges to follow. Among them, was the improvement of the operator s skills in the workforce, which resulted in the introduction of new technologies.This study aimed to understand the process of training manpower for harvesting in a forestry company, with a focus on the recruitment process. Mainly, helping with decision making about improvement of working conditions, increase of productivity and reduction of operating costs. In order to achieve this study, it was done a search of files, documents and reports intending to draw an overview of the training program, recruitment, selection and admission which was developed in the company. Also a que questionnaire was applied to obtain the profile and awareness of operators about the training and work.A study was also made in order to know the time and the percentage of it spent on each element of an operating cycle. The results indicated that the company has structured training programs divided into modules. The goal is to develop and make operators able to operate the machines, complying with safety standards and environmental standards; as well as, being able to identify shortcomings of any machinery. Operators of the machinery are usually less than 40 years old, have a family and are from urban origin. Most have experience, enjoy working in this specific field and feel safe operating the machinery. In the workplace, noise was identified as the factor that causes more discomfort than any other issue. Most of the operators feel some kind of body pain, due to work. Regarding the training, the results indicated that workers considered the training very beneficial. Although, some content was still to be addressed, the majority of operators believe that an ongoing training section for workers to be continually up to date definitely improves the work in general. The practical part of the training, risky situations and safety were cited as most important modules in the whole training process. The time study of the harvester showed that this activity was partially responsible for most of the time spent in the operating cycle, corresponding on average 58% of the total time. The actual productivity of this machine was 19.99 m3 per hour effective. For the forwarder, loading was the partial activity that consumed most time, 61% of the total. Also an analysis was done to generate a regression equation, which explains in 98% the time displacement increases with distance traveled.
