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!

FWPHAR4205 - Implement harvesting plans

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

Plan coupe harvesting

  1. Access and interpret harvesting plan and check where required with appropriate personnel.
  2. Calculate size of coupe and available timber.
  3. Estimate equipment, human and other resource requirements.
  4. Draw up personnel plans and schedules and notify coupe harvesting date and location to employees.
  5. Organise availability of appropriate equipment and ensure operational effectiveness.
  6. Apply for planning permits.

Implement harvesting plans

  1. Analyse and record forest type, topography and available species in line with harvesting plan.
  2. Calculate gross area of coupe and determine nett area to be harvested.
  3. Calculate and record volume estimates.
  4. Implement and monitor operational activities including access, site preparation and environmental and workplace health and safety protection measures.
  5. Contract cartage operators via tender and set cartage routes.
  6. Produce, check and communicate schedule for harvesting.

Review harvesting work plan

  1. Identify and evaluate problems encountered during harvesting and use information to enhance future planning.
  2. Review and evaluate personnel and equipment efficiencies and use information to enhance future planning.
  3. Identify and document environmental issues encountered during harvesting and feed into future planning processes.
  4. Record harvesting plan implementation issues and report to appropriate personnel
