At the social level the problem of work quality is tackled by setting conditions for qualification of those who carry out forest work, by determining key tasks that exert a vital influence on quality and by organising a permanent influence upon them. The main normative measures for ensuring quality are stipulations of the Forest Act, while different material and non-material incentives for the investment into forests represent the main economic mechanisms. The government prescribes minimal conditions for qualification of forest work contractors and special requirements for qualification of professional workers employed by the public Forest Service. The paper discusses in detail individual
measures for ensuring quality in forestry and proposes how their efficiency might be improved.
