Unit of Competency FWPCOT2242 - Segregate and sort logs
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to segregate and sort logs in a commercial forest harvesting environment or a timber processing plant, in line with specified quality characteristics for the best end-usage. The unit applies to individuals who segregate and sort logs at the roadside, landing area or timber mill. Operators generally work under broad direction and take responsibility for their work.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare to segregate and sort logs
  • Review log product specifications for species, product usage and size in reference to the segregation and sorting of logs
  • Review the production plan, confirm its targets and assess wood flow requirements to ensure efficient operations and overall productivity
  • Confirm, identify and report health, safety, environmental and heritage risks of operation in line with standard operating procedures and site safety and environmental management plan
  • Apply risk control measures in line with standard operating procedures, site operational plan, legislative requirements and industry standards to eliminate or minimise risks
  • Identify emergency plan procedures to follow in the event of an emergency
  • Select appropriate log size measuring tools and calibration methods
  • Calibrate log measuring tools to ensure accuracy of length and diameter measurements
       
Element: Segregate and sort logs
  • Visually assess and measure logs for size, species and quality characteristics to determine their best end-use in line with product specifications and to identify logs which are to be recovered
  • Mark and report logs that cannot be clearly and safely assessed
  • Direct mechanical equipment to extract specified logs from the stack and segregate them by specified product usage
  • Assist log positioning and segregation into end-use stacks to avoid log damage, provide stability, restrict height for efficient extraction and allow space for the conduct of other operations in line with planned worksite layout
  • Ensure stacks are tagged for identification in line with industry standards and production plan requirements
  • Record and report measurements and sorting outcomes

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
