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!

FWPHAR4203 - Design log landings and snig tracks

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan landing and recovery requirements

  1. Analyse workplace health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements, standards and codes of practice for the design, construction and operation of landings and snig tracks.
  2. Obtain and assess information on logging methods, topography and environmental management considerations for site.
  3. Identify landing location and construction requirements from harvest plan and inspect site to assess factors affecting operations.
  4. Identify timeframe for use of site and likely weather conditions.
  5. Calculate and document log extraction methods and storage requirements for landings, roads, tracks, equipment placement, falling and recovery rates and delivery schedules.

  2. Plan number and location of snig tracks to optimise track clearing and construction time, log handling capacity and minimise environmental damage.
  3. Locate track and road entry points to landing in line with harvest plan, log handling procedures, vehicle and equipment access, turning and loading space requirements.
  4. Design landing and track to provide for available equipment and access for construction.
  5. Plan and document restoration of land on completion of operations.
  6. Document landing design and track locations in line with regulation.
  7. Record design and development process and report to appropriate personnel.
