Fall trees manually (basic)
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit involves tree felling in a variety of work settings, which may include a forest, agricultural, domestic, local council, and emergency services and other government agency environment.
With the exception of minor forest produce, it is not considered a suitable level for commercial harvesting operations.
These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the person’s job and authority.
This unit describes the outcomes required to assess, plan and safely carry out manual tree-felling operations using a chainsaw.
It is an introductory or base-level unit that covers the felling procedures for relatively small trees with a low level of complexity.
Techniques for trees with a diameter greater than the bar length, while not excluded, would generally be regarded as techniques beyond the scope of this unit.
