Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1. Prepare for hook tender operations

1.1 Determine job requirements from work order or instruction, and where required seek clarification from appropriate personnel

1.2 Confirm safety and environmental requirements, including use of personal protective equipment, for the task according to workplace procedures

1.3 Identify, assess and take actions to mitigate risks and hazards associated with cable operation activities

1.4 Identify emergency and evacuation procedures to follow in the event of an incident or accident

1.5 Confirm chain of command for communication of information and instructions and consult with appropriate personnel to ensure that work is coordinated effectively with others in the workplace

1.6 Identify required type and quantity of cable recovery equipment, and assess for safety and operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer recommendations

1.7 Plan cable operation activities according to workplace procedures

2. Plan cable system layout

2.1 Obtain and evaluate information to plan cable system layout and inspect site for hazards and factors affecting harvesting operations

2.2 Provide personnel with information about landing location and size, hauling boundaries, access routes and construction requirements

2.3 Consider code of practice, site topography and minimising system design additions, and select cable system type to optimise log extraction rate

2.4 Identify general requirements for anchor points, backline and intermediate supports, and provide instruction to fallers

3. Coordinate yarder and cable system setup

3.1 Select rope sizes for lines according to code of practice, yarder capacity, system design and manufacturer recommendations

3.2 Select components and rigging to meet code of practice requirements, system design and manufacturer recommendations

3.3 Inspect and install components and lines

3.4 Direct and assist personnel to lay out lines, select anchors and position mobile backstops

3.5 Assess felled trees for location, size and obstructions

3.6 Plan recovery extraction sequence to minimise line shifts, log and environmental damage

3.7 Select support trees and provide directions for rigging

3.8 Check unloaded and loaded system performance, and calculate loads to ensure they are within system and equipment capacity

3.9 Monitor operations and change and communicate procedures or system design to improve safety and payload efficiency

4. Coordinate rigging of towers, trees and yarders

4.1 Check cable system plans and determine operational requirements for tower and support trees

4.2 Ensure rigging of towers and trees complies with code of practice and manufacturer recommendations

4.3 Check and select support trees to be rigged, guylines and anchor points

4.4 Select rigging and rope sizes to meet load

4.5 Provide directions to check components for wear, failure or missing parts prior to rigging

4.6 Identify faults and take corrective action

4.7 Coordinate rigging on machine towers to prepare, assemble and fit operational lines, prior to raising according to system design

4.8 Identify climbing and pass line equipment

4.9 Coordinate guyline positioning and rigging within location angle requirements to provide minimal difference in length and tension

4.10 Check system components for size, safe working load, layout, position, safety straps, joins, lead angles and operating angles

5. Coordinate line shifts and rigging modifications

5.1 Anticipate line shifts and prepare required rigging in advance

5.2 Diagnose limitations of system design or positioning, and plan modifications according to code of practice and manufacturer recommendations

5.3 Monitor operations, and as required change and communicate procedures to improve safety and payload efficiency

5.4 Locate new support trees, anchor points and mobile tail anchor position

5.5 Assign riggers to prepare and rig according to system requirements

5.6 Record and report production processes and equipment faults according to workplace procedures
