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!

  4. Confirm legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to timber drying operations
  5. Identify hazards and associated risks, and implement corrective actions according to workplace procedures
  6. Inspect raw materials, identify possible production and quality implications and communicate variations to production methods to team members
  7. Assess pre-drying suitability of product, and remove non-conforming product according to workplace procedures
  8. Communicate drying and production schedule, production targets, specifications and performance indicators to team members
  9. Maintain communication with team members to ensure production schedule and workplace health and safety, environmental protection and quality requirements are met
  10. Plan process cycles and develop timber drying schedule
Confirm type of kiln, kiln controls and workplace drying and kiln management procedures
