What an assessment for FWPSIL2003 must cover

30 assessable components: 3 elements (13 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 7 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 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 pruning

1.1Determine job requirements from work order or instruction, and where required seek clarification from appropriate personnel
1.2Confirm safety and environmental requirements, including use of personal protective equipment, for the task according to workplace procedures
1.3Identify, assess and take actions to mitigate risks and hazards associated with tree pruning operations
1.4Identify emergency and evacuation procedures to follow in the event of an incident or accident
1.5Consult with appropriate personnel to ensure that work is coordinated effectively with others in the workplace
1.6Select tools, equipment, machinery and materials for tree pruning operations, and check for serviceability according to workplace procedures

2 Select and prune trees

2.1Identify and select trees for pruning according to work order
2.2Use ladder handling and pruning techniques according to workplace procedures
2.3Prune trees by removing branches, epicormics and green shoots to meet quality requirements

3 Assess pruning quality

3.1Appraise pruned trees visually to ensure pruning quality and pruned stock level comply with work order
3.2Rectify incorrect pruning to ensure quality of grown trees
3.3Dispose of pruned material according to environmental protection practices
3.4Record and report pruning process and equipment faults to appropriate personnel
