(add new lines for each of the 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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice	Yes	No	Comments/feedback
Review production plan, confirm its targets for felling and processing and assess wood flow requirements to ensure efficient machine operations and overall productivity
Confirm type, size and quantity of logs or slash to be grappled, to ensure that loads and machine are in line with safe working requirements and industry standards for operations
Confirm, identify and report health, safety, environmental and heritage risks of operation in line with standard operating procedures and site safety and environmental management plans
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
Use production plan to identify layout of landing or roadside area and access to logs for efficient process and minimum interference with other forestry operations
Assess terrain characteristics to establish machine stability
Carry out pre-operational checks on machine to ensure optimal production performance and operational effectiveness in line with workplace procedures or manufacturers' recommendations
Use industry-accepted warning signs, vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems and procedures to maintain communication and workplace safety during operation
Position excavator with log grapple for stability and safe access to logs by adjusting the technique in response to terrain conditions
Use machine cabin controls to grapple bunches of logs / slash and load trucks and/or sort stacks and ensure bunch size is suited to the log grapple capacity and terrain conditions
Systematically load trucks and/or construct log/slash stacks using handling techniques to avoid log damage and ensure safety and stability of truck and/or stacks
Use appropriate techniques to maintain log product separation in the truck when multiple product grades are loaded or in line with the production plan requirements
Drive the machine and manoeuvre log grapple safely and efficiently to avoid logs, machine and environmental damage
Ensure all merchantable product and/or slash from the site is loaded or sorted in line with the production plan requirements
Visually assess and measure products for size, species and quality characteristics at the felling site and during stacking at the roadside or landing bay to ensure they are placed in the appropriate stack and in line with the production plan requirements
Mark and report logs that cannot be clearly and safely assessed in line with the production plan requirements
Position and construct stacks of stems or logs to avoid product damage, provide stability, restrict height for efficient extraction and facilitate safe access and conduct of other landing and machine operation in line with worksite layout and production plan requirements
Maintain stack separation and identification to ensure products are correctly presented on roadside and/or landing bay for an optimum transport and logistics cycle time in line with industry standards and production plan requirements
Clean area of all debris resulting from excavator with log grapple operation, in line with resource management policies
Park, shut-down, de-energise and isolate excavator with log grapple in line with workplace procedures or manufacturers' recommendations
Clean, check and carry out routine maintenance tasks on excavator with log grapple to maintain optimum operational performance
Identify and report machine faults, malfunctions or problems in line with workplace procedures or manufacturers' recommendations
Clean work area and dispose of or recycle waste materials in line with site environmental management plan
Record excavator with log grapple operations and maintenance activities
