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!

FWPCOT3270 - Grade and mark logs

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

Prepare to grade and mark logs

  1. Review log product specifications for species, product usage and size in reference to the grading and marking of logs
  2. Review 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 grading and marking of logs

Grade and mark logs

  1. Visually assess logs for species and quality characteristics to determine their best end-use in line with product specifications
  2. Measure logs and defects for size
  3. Grade logs and determine logs which are to be recovered
  4. Mark graded logs for product identification in line with industry standards
  5. Direct mechanical equipment to conduct log segregation and stacking into product groups
  6. Tag stacks for identification in line with industry standards and production plan requirements for an optimum transport and logistics cycle time

Verify grading and marking logs

  1. Conduct size accuracy checks by using standard or digital measuring tools to verify that graded logs meet length and diameter specifications and remediate errors
  2. Verify that marking and tagging has been conducted correctly and display required information
  3. Mark and report logs that cannot be clearly or safely evaluated for size or quality characteristics
