Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Plan stockpile operations |
1.1. Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental , legislative and organisational requirements relevant to coordinating and monitoring the wood chip stockpile are identified and followed 1.2. Variations in wood chip supply are assessed, recorded and reported 1.3. Stockpile schedules are produced and applied in line with site procedures 1.4. Chip movement procedures including order information are planned and scheduled 1.5. Stockpile management is planned and prescribed 1.6. Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements |
2. Control stockpile |
2.1. Wood chip stockpile size growth is estimated from production and shipping schedules 2.2. Direction and extent for spread or contraction of stockpile is planned in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 2.3. Chip spreading requirements are estimated considering the reach of the chip slinging equipment 2.4. Stockpile is inspected to identify hazards within vehicle operational area |
3. Coordinate wood chip movement and loading |
3.1. Vehicles and attachments are selected and allocated to spread chips and load transport modes 3.2. Personnel are advised of spreading, movement and loading operations 3.3. Stockpile levelling is coordinated in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 3.4. Wood chip retrieval from the stockpile edges is coordinated and directed to transport modes 3.5. Stockpile coordination and equipment faults are investigated, recorded and reported in line with site requirements |
