Elements and Performance Criteria
- Plan debarking operations
- Applicable occupational health and safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to coordinating log debarking operations are identified and followed
- Variations in timber characteristics are assessed, recorded and reported to operators
- Debarking schedules are produced and applied in line with site procedures
- Log management procedures including order information are planned, scheduled and communicated to sawyers
- Diameters and lengths are planned and prescribed
- Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements
- Monitor debarking performance
- Standard diameters and lengths are reviewed for suitability to planned debarking schedules
- Debarking processes are monitored for accuracy of diameter and condition of debarked logs
- Assistance is provided to operators with the evaluation of logs and debarking problems
- Log management and output are monitored to record possible process improvements
- Debarking operations, major problems and equipment faults are investigated, recorded and reported
- Direct debarking operations
- Debarking operations and output are monitored to record and action possible process improvements, based on diameters, lengths and logs being processed
- Modifications are made to diameters or schedules to ensure optimum performance, which are then communicated to operators
- Debarking improvement modifications are documented in line with site procedures
- Debarked log output details are obtained and recorded in line with site requirements
- Debarked logs are directed to storage or transferred for further processing
- Operating logs and processing records are completed and maintained to site standards
