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!

FWPSAW3256 - Select and saw logs in multi-species operations

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

Prepare for sawing in multi-species operation

  1. Determine job requirements from work order or instructions and, where required, seek clarification from 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 sawing logs
  4. Select tools and equipment for sorting and sawing operations, and check for serviceability

Segregate logs for sawing in multi-species operation

  1. Select appropriate logs according to species, size, grade and/or other characteristics to suit job requirements
  2. Reject and direct defective logs for reuse, recycling or disposal according to workplace procedures and environmental protection practices and/or procedures
  3. Identify sawing sequence and cutting patterns to achieve maximum output of flitches or cants from different species
  4. Plan flow of logs in and out of the sawing area to maximise production

Saw logs in multi-species operation

  1. Complete pre-start-up equipment checks to ensure operational effectiveness
  2. Use dogs to secure and align logs to saw and minimise damage
  3. Clear logs of foreign matter and feed into saw at feed rate according to workplace procedures
  4. Maximise feed rate and adjust sawing sequence or process regularly to achieve required production output and quality, considering log defects and changes in species
  5. Direct flitches or cants to designated area according to job requirements
  6. Identify routine processing problems and resolve or report to appropriate personnel
