Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare for timber sawing or machining operation

1.1 Review work order and identify required finished timber sizes and quantities with the operator

1.2 Check sequence of cuts or machining passes with operator and work order when multiple cuts are required

1.3 Review workplace health and safety procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment, equipment lock-out and safe manual handling techniques

1.4 Identify, assess and take actions to mitigate risks and hazards associated with tailing out timber products and waste material

1.5 Identify workplace environmental protection procedures for minimising and disposing of waste material, cleaning tools and equipment, and maximising energy efficiency

2. Maintain the process workflow

2.1 Clear timber product to maintain the process workflow according to sawing or machining speed, workplace safety requirements and production plans

2.2 Clear sawn waste regularly according to workplace procedures and environmental requirements

2.3 Assess timber product against product standards and, when necessary, return to the operator for further processing

2.4 Identify and report problems in workflow or processing of timber product to the operator for resolution

2.5 Dispose of faulty or defective timber product according to workplace procedures and environmental requirements

3. Sort finished timber product and complete work records

3.1 Assess finished timber product for standard sizes according to workplace procedures

3.2 Sort and stack finished timber product according to workplace procedures and specific operational requirements

3.3 Segregate and store, or direct, recoverable timber product and waste for further processing according to workplace procedures

3.4 Record and report production and timber product quality information according to workplace procedures
