(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 operation 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 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 entry points to the coupe, access to tree, extraction routes and directions to landings to facilitate an efficient process and minimise interference with other forestry operations
Check work area to ensure there is appropriate space to safely manoeuvre both the machine and stems, stockpile processed logs and store or dispose of stem waste and tops according to production plan
Assess terrain characteristics to establish machine stability
Identify cutting sequence and felling directions to minimise damage to the trees and the surrounding environment in line with the production plan
Use log cutting instructions and/or production plan to determine the product types and quality parameters to be produced
Carry out pre-operational checks on machine in line with workplace procedures or manufacturers' recommendations to ensure optimal production performance and operational effectiveness
Use industry-accepted warning signs, vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems and procedures to maintain communication and workplace safety during operation
Assess individual trees to determine the best machine position, fall direction, hazards, placement of cuts and grade quality
Drive and position the machine and harvester head in response to tree characteristics and terrain conditions to ensure stability
Use appropriate methods to reset the harvesting head length counter to prevent loss of log volume or value
Assess tree species, size and quality characteristics in line with log cutting instructions and/or production plan requirements and use cabin controls to clamp, cut and produce logs with optimal length, quality and diameter
Adjust clamping, cutting and processing techniques in response to unexpected characteristics, movement or condition of tree to minimise log and log surface damage in line with the production plan requirements
Move machine over pre-arranged routes to minimise environmental impact
Visually assess logs for size, species and quality characteristics during stacking at the pre-bunching site to ensure they are placed in the appropriate stack for transport and further processing 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 log stacks to avoid log damage, provide stability, restrict height for efficient extraction and allow space for the conduct of other operations in line with worksite layout and the production plan requirements
Maintain stack separation and identification to ensure products are presented for an optimum transport and logistics cycle time and are in line with industry standards and production plan requirements
Park, shut-down, de-energise and isolate single grip harvester in line with workplace procedures or manufacturers' recommendations
Adjust feed roller pressures and delimbing knife settings to minimise roller stud and delimbing damage
Clean, check and carry out routine maintenance tasks on single grip harvester to maintain optimum 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 single grip harvester operations and maintenance activities
