Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

FWPCOT2242 - Segregate and sort logs

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare to segregate and sort logs

  1. Review log product specifications for species, product usage and size in reference to the segregation and sorting of logs
  2. Review the production plan, confirm its targets and assess wood flow requirements to ensure efficient operations and overall productivity
  3. 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
  4. Apply risk control measures in line with standard operating procedures, site operational plan, legislative requirements and industry standards to eliminate or minimise risks
  5. Identify emergency plan procedures to follow in the event of an emergency
  6. Select appropriate log size measuring tools and calibration methods
  7. Calibrate log measuring tools to ensure accuracy of length and diameter measurements
Review log product specifications for species, product usage and size in reference to the segregation and sorting of logs

Segregate and sort logs

  1. 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
  2. Mark and report logs that cannot be clearly and safely assessed
  3. Direct mechanical equipment to extract specified logs from the stack and segregate them by specified product usage
  4. 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
  5. Ensure stacks are tagged for identification in line with industry standards and production plan requirements
  6. Record and report measurements and sorting outcomes
