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!

Analyse potential pneumatic and/or hydraulic failures of forest or wood products equipment

  1. Identify hydraulic and/or pneumatic system components of site equipment and determine their function(s)
  2. Read maintenance records and analyse mean time between equipment failures or malfunctions related to hydraulic and/or pneumatic components
  3. Read and analyse pneumatic and/or hydraulic performance data of site equipment
  4. Identify potential failures and/or faults for each hydraulic and/or pneumatic component of site equipment that may affect proper functioning of site equipment
  5. Identify root causes for potential failures and/or faults of hydraulic and/or pneumatic components
  6. Determine effects associated with each potential failure and/or fault on site equipment if they occur
  7. Assess likelihood of occurrence, potential severity, and ease of detection of potential failures and/or faults, and determine a relative failure risk rating
