Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Plan for implementing treatment plant operations
  • Confirm workplace health and safety, environmental protection, containment, quality and operational practices and/or procedures for chemical treatment of timber
  • Identify hazards, assess potential risks and confirm risk mitigation measures, including use of personal protective equipment, associated with timber treatment operations
  • Confirm legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to timber treatment plant operations
  • Confirm type, components, operating parameters, capability and capacity of treatment plant
  • Inspect raw materials, identify possible production and quality implications and communicate variations to production methods to team members
  • Assess preservative type and formulation, treatment process, treatment suitability of wood and estimate solution absorption
  • Apply timber treatment schedules according to workplace procedures and environmental protection practices and/or procedures
  • Plan and prescribe waste minimisation and control measures
  • Check serviceability of plant control and product testing equipment
  • Establish and maintain communication with others according to workplace procedures and workplace health and safety requirements
       
Element: Supervise treatment plant operations
  • Check and interpret charge sheets and reconciliation statements to ensure accuracy
  • Check and analyse process trends for optimum performance
  • Monitor treatment operations and output to record possible process improvements and to ensure maximum cost effectiveness
  • Control non-conforming treated timber according to workplace procedures and environmental protection practices and/or procedures
  • Investigate causes of solution imbalance and implement appropriate possible corrective actions
  • Investigate, record and report treatment operations, operational problems and equipment faults according to workplace requirements
  • Analyse treatment documents and reconciliations to identify potential productivity improvements
       
Element: Oversee treatment plant maintenance and inventory management requirements
  • Monitor implementation of routine and preventative maintenance and cleaning requirements
  • Maintain product and material inventory levels to meet production and contingency requirements
       
Element: Modify operations to optimise performance
  • Initiate approved modifications to schedules to ensure optimum performance according to workplace procedures
  • Document and communicate treatment improvement modifications according to workplace procedures
  • Diagnose developments in treatment processes and related technology for possible implementation
  • Analyse and assess technical developments for potential incorporation into existing plant operations and procedures

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
