Element: Analyse potential pneumatic and/or hydraulic failures of forest or wood products equipment
  • Identify hydraulic and/or pneumatic system components of site equipment and determine their function(s)
  • Read maintenance records and analyse mean time between equipment failures or malfunctions related to hydraulic and/or pneumatic components
  • Read and analyse pneumatic and/or hydraulic performance data of site equipment
  • Identify potential failures and/or faults for each hydraulic and/or pneumatic component of site equipment that may affect proper functioning of site equipment
  • Identify root causes for potential failures and/or faults of hydraulic and/or pneumatic components
  • Determine effects associated with each potential failure and/or fault on site equipment if they occur
  • Assess likelihood of occurrence, potential severity, and ease of detection of potential failures and/or faults, and determine a relative failure risk rating
  • Select and recommend preventive pneumatic and/or hydraulic maintenance processes to reduce the risk of equipment failures or malfunctions
       

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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.
