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!

FWPSAW3255 - Operate conventional log breakdown saw line

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

Prepare for primary or secondary log breakdown

  1. Determine job requirements from work order or instructions and, where required, check with appropriate personnel
  2. Review workplace health and safety and environmental protection practices and/or procedures for work activity, including emergency procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency situation
  3. Identify and assess hazards and take actions to mitigate risks related to performing log breakdown
  4. Check production input to ensure that it meets job specifications
  5. Check that other upstream and downstream processing stages are ready for production
  6. Select cutting schedule based on incoming production input and job requirements to optimise grade, size and recovery
  7. Conduct trial runs to check for quality and compliance with cutting schedule requirements
  8. Identify processing constraints and potential solutions according to workplace procedures
