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!

  2. Select appropriate personal protective equipment and check for operational effectiveness.
  3. Assess logs to be rounded for diameter, species, faults and moisture content.
  4. Plan rounding process in line with work order.
  5. Use equipment in line with organisational safety procedures, manufacturer’s instructions and environmental protection practices.
  6. Complete pre start-up checks to ensure operational effectiveness.
  7. Calibrate scanner in line with manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. Feed material into machine at feed rate in line with organisational procedures.
  9. Maintain rounding process and adjust to maximise feed rate.
  10. Check rounding process and conveyors regularly, adjusting to maintain desired quality and output.
  11. Reject and dispose of sub-standard logs in line with environmental protection practices.
  12. Direct rounded logs to designated area in line with work order.
  13. Identify routine processing faults and resolve or report to appropriate personnel.
Review work order and where required check with appropriate personnel.
