The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
OHS requirements: | are to be in line with applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation and regulations, and organisational safety policies and procedures, and may include: personal protective equipment and clothing safety equipment first aid equipment fire fighting equipment hazard and risk control fatigue management elimination of hazardous materials and substances safe forest practices including required actions relating to forest fire manual handling including shifting, lifting and carrying machine isolation and guarding |
Environmental requirements may include: | legislation organisational policies and procedures workplace practices |
Legislative requirements: | are to be in line with applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation, regulations, certification requirements and codes of practice and may include: award and enterprise agreements industrial relations Australian Standards confidentiality and privacy OHS the environment equal opportunity anti-discrimination relevant industry codes of practice duty of care |
Organisational requirements may include: | legal organisational and site guidelines policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility quality assurance procedural manuals quality and continuous improvement processes and standards OHS, emergency and evacuation procedures ethical standards recording and reporting requirements equipment use and maintenance and storage requirements environmental management requirements (waste minimisation and disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines) |
Levelling | is the process of removing lumps and ridges in the blade using the appropriate and specialised saw hammers |
Tensioning | is the process of placing tension in a blade to counteract forces and rotational stresses |
Work order is to include: | instructions for the levelling and tensioning of circular saws in designated equipment and may include: instructions for the environmental monitoring of work and procedures environmental care requirements relevant to the work |
Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisors suppliers clients colleagues managers |
Equipment may include: | hammers stretcher rolls specialised levelling rolls tensioning instruments gauges and straight edges to check accuracy of hammering or rolling processes on particular sections of the saw blade |
Communication may include: | verbal and non-verbal language constructive feedback active listening questioning to clarify and confirm understanding use of positive, confident and cooperative language use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences control of tone of voice body language |
Disposing of may include: | recycling unserviceable saws/saws damaged in the levelling and tensioning process that cannot be repaired re-using unserviceable saws/saws damaged in the levelling and tensioning process that cannot be repaired |
Radial and circular ridges or lumps are to include: | defects obtained during saw operation |
Gauges and straight edges are to include: | measuring instruments used to check the results of hammering and/or rolling the blade |
Stretcher and levelling rolls are to include: | devices for assisting in the process of removing saw defects such as ridges and lumps |
Patterns | are the sequences applied when hammering or rolling identified areas of the blade to remove distortions and stresses in the form of lumps, ridges, twists, loose, tight, or neutral sections |
Spring-back | is the principle of compensating for 'metal creep' that causes saw blade steel to stress-relieve over time thus reducing tension permanence in blades |
Curvature | is the amount of tension achieved in a blade by compressing and elongating predetermined sections or zones in the blade |
Records and reports may include: | levelling and tensioning inspection storage locations quality outcomes hazards incidents equipment malfunctions and may be: manual using a computer-based system or another appropriate organisational communication system |
