planned and coordinated the establishment of one of the following cable recovery systems:

high lead (no skyline)

standing skyline

running skyline

complied with safety and environmental requirements, including use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

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

coordinated rigging of towers, trees and yarders according to workplace policies and procedures and related industry codes of practice for log recovery operations

coordinated line shifts and rigging modifications according to workplace policies and procedures and related industry codes of practice for log recovery operations

monitored operations and as required changed and communicated procedures to improve safety and payload efficiency

recorded and reported production processes and equipment faults according to workplace procedures.
