There must be evidence that, on at least one occasion, the individual has:

aligned the following types of sawing production systems:

chipper head

circular and band sawing machines and feed systems including line bars and carriages

in doing the above job, the individual has:

followed work order and relevant workplace health and safety and environmental protection procedures

implemented equipment shutdown procedures

assessed the performance of sawing machine and system

re-assembled sawing production systems and tested for operational effectiveness

identified routine processing and equipment faults and resolved or reported to appropriate personnel.
