1 Prepare for sorting timber boards

1.1Determine job requirements from work order or instructions and, where required, check with appropriate personnel
1.2Confirm workplace health and safety and environmental protection practices and/or procedures for task, including use of personal protective equipment
1.3Identify and assess hazards and take actions to mitigate risks related to timber sorting operation
1.4Identify type and quantity of timber boards for sorting, and confirm allocation of sorted timber boards to storage and/or downstream operations
1.5Check timber sorting and transferring equipment for operational effectiveness

2 Sort and distribute timber boards

2.1Assess timber board characteristics and defects visually
2.2Identify timber board cross-sections, lengths and grades and allocate to storage bins or trays
2.3Move sorted timber boards by size and grade to storage location or direct to subsequent operations according to work order while maintaining material flow
2.4Check operation of conveyors and bins regularly to ensure supply of boards to downstream processing
2.5Identify routine process and equipment faults and resolve or report to appropriate personnel

3 Complete timber boards sorting operation
