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!

FWPHAR4209 - Plan for and coordinate forest harvesting operations

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

Plan harvesting operations

  1. Review harvesting plan and, where required, seek clarification from appropriate personnel
  2. Confirm workplace health and safety procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), lock-out procedures and safe use of plant and equipment
  3. Identify, assess and take actions to mitigate risks and hazards associated with harvesting operations
  4. Identify workplace environmental protection practices and/or procedures for protecting natural and cultural assets, minimising and disposing of waste material, fire prevention and control, and cleaning plant and equipment
  5. Calculate size of coupe and available timber according to workplace procedures
  6. Source and confirm availability of personnel, plant and equipmemt required for harvesting operation
  7. Establish work plans and schedules for employees and inform them of coupe location and harvesting date
  8. Apply for planning permits
  9. Produce harvesting schedule according to harvesting plan and workplace procedures
