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!

  4. Give haul signals, in line with code of practice, when all persons are clear from logs and bight of ropes.
  5. Monitor log movement and stop for corrective action when difficulties occur.
  6. Maintain control of movement using signalling systems until payload is in clear sight of yarder operator.
  7. Record and report breakout process and equipment faults in line with site procedures.
