Performance Evidence
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. If a specific volume or frequency is not stated below, then evidence must be provided that the following requirements have been performed on at least one occasion:
- segregate and sort logs in line with individual work orders that prescribe different requirements to segregate, sort, grade and mark logs according to:
- species
- size and length
- log faults and characteristics
- specified end use
- after each of the above jobs, complete accurate basic records for measurements and sorting outcomes.
Knowledge Evidence
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
- typical log defects, visual characteristics and how they affect ability to produce quality timber products including:
- discontinuous and irregular shaped pipes
- loose gum veins
- gum pockets and rings
- termites and grubs
- hearts out of centre
- brown stain
- rot
- punk
- cork or pith
- black borer
- black heart
- straight shakes
- shakes in spiral grain
- overgrowth and doze pockets
- small log pipe allowance
- length
- non-allowable length defects
- range of industry standard log lengths and diameters used to produce common timber products
- markings used on logs to indicate grade according to:
- species
- size
- log faults and characteristics
- specified product usage
- purpose, features and operation of equipment used to sort and segregate logs
- organisational procedures specific to sorting and segregating logs:
- workplace health and safety with particular emphasis on use of personal protective equipment
- communication reporting lines
- recording and reporting log measurements and sorting outcomes.
Assessment Conditions
The following resources must be made available:
- measuring tapes or electronic measuring equipment
- personal protective equipment suitable for sorting and segregating logs
- a diverse commercial range of logs of varying species, lengths and diameters
- work order with specific instructions for assessing, grading, marking and sorting logs for specified product usage
- template documents for recording log measurements and sorting outcomes
- organisational procedures for sorting and segregating logs.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessor requirements
Assessors must:
- hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and
- be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and
- be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
