What an assessment for FWPSAW3253 must cover

44 assessable components: 3 elements (20 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 14 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare for re-sawing green timber boards

1.1Determine job requirements from work order or instructions and, where required, seek clarification from appropriate personnel
1.2Confirm workplace health and safety procedures for task, including use of personal protective equipment, equipment lock-out and safe manual handling techniques
1.3Identify and assess hazards and take actions to mitigate risks related to sawing operations
1.4Identify workplace environmental protection practices and/or procedures for minimising and disposing of waste material, cleaning tools and equipment and maximising energy efficiency
1.5Acquire type, quantity and quality of timber to be cut from the storage location

2 Produce green timber boards

2.1Set up saw, carriage and feeding system according to workplace health and safety procedures, manufacturer instructions and environmental protection practices and/or procedures
2.2Adjust saw and equipment regularly within operational capacity to achieve product sizes and tolerances according to work order
2.3Monitor timber supply to ensure quantity of finished product and constant supply to saw
2.4Maintain feed rate during operation to optimise production without damaging timber or saw blade
2.5Reuse, recycle or dispose of incorrect cuts, off-cuts and sub-standard timber according to workplace environmental protection practices and/or procedures
2.6Stack timber safely in designated location according to workplace procedures
2.7Identify routine processing problems, and resolve or report to appropriate personnel
2.8Record and report production output

3 Complete operator maintenance

3.1Lock out equipment according to workplace health and safety procedures
3.2Check saw blades for bluntness or damage
3.3Remove and replace saw blades according to manufacturer recommendations
3.4Dispose of used blades according to workplace environmental protection practices and/or procedures

Performance evidence

There must be evidence that the individual has re-sawn, according to an individual work order, one type of green hardwood, softwood, native or imported species timber product selected from: flitches, cants, rough sawn timber.
In performing this task, the individual has: used one of the following items of equipment: power operated, automatic feed controlled ripping saws; saws with adjustable cant (sloping table); saws with one blade; rip saws; table saws; bench saws.
followed workplace procedures for cutting operation
selected, fitted and used personal protective equipment (PPE)
cut products to length or dimensions according to prescribed workplace tolerance
stacked finished product in designated storage location according to common size, length and width
completed operator maintenance on the saw used.
