fatigue management
elimination of hazardous materials and substances
safe forest practices including required actions relating to forest fire
manual handling including shifting, lifting and carrying
machine isolation and guarding
Environmental requirements may include:
legislation
organisational policies and procedures
workplace practices
Legislative requirements:
are to be in line with applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation, regulations, certification requirements and codes of practice and may include:
award and enterprise agreements
industrial relations
Australian Standards
confidentiality and privacy
OHS
the environment
equal opportunity
anti-discrimination
relevant industry codes of practice
duty of care
Organisational requirements may include:
legal
organisational and site guidelines
policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility
quality assurance
procedural manuals
quality and continuous improvement processes and standards
OHS, emergency and evacuation procedures
ethical standards
recording and reporting requirements
equipment use and maintenance and storage requirements
environmental management requirements (waste minimisation and disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines)
Reconditioning
is the process of re-grinding the faces of the band mill wheels with grinding equipment to regain the specified profile for continued accuracy during operation
Band and wide band mill wheels are to include:
the drive and driven wheels of any bandmill that support, turn, and maintain the alignment of the band saw blade for accurate cutting
Work order is to include:
instructions for the reconditioning of band mill wheels in designated equipment
and may also include:
instructions for the environmental monitoring of work and procedures
environmental care requirements relevant to the work
Appropriate personnel may include:
supervisors
suppliers
clients
colleagues
managers
Equipment may include:
specialised grinding equipment
measuring equipment
Communication may include:
verbal and non-verbal language
constructive feedback
active listening
questioning to clarify and confirm understanding
use of positive, confident and cooperative language
use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences
control of tone of voice
body language
Grinding
is the process of removing wear and defects from band mill wheels
Band mill
is the same as 'mill' and is to include the entire mechanical structure and componentry that make up the machine
Tolerance may include:
wheel alignment
alignment of saw guides to wheel faces
wheel thickness to manufacturer's specifications
Alignment
is the process of measuring and testing the band mill wheels to ensure they run in a manner which makes the band saw blade rotate consistently without movement across the wheels
Profile
is the even shape and width of the wheel
Feeds
is the process of matching the speed of band mill wheel rotation with the speed and depth of cut taken by the abrasive grinding wheel or cutting tool being used to re-surface the wheel face
Mill may include:
all of the processing plant and timber feed systems which are linked to the band mill
Isolation padlocks and tags may include:
devices that isolate the piece of machinery
devices that alert personnel to its isolation from service
Disposing of may include:
recycling band saw mills damaged during the process that cannot be repaired
re-using band saw mills damaged during the process that cannot be repaired
Records and reports may include:
reconditioning of band mill wheels
inspection
storage locations
quality outcomes
hazards
incidents
equipment malfunctions
and may be:
manual
using a computer-based system or other appropriate organisational communication system

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence that they can safely and efficiently recondition band mill wheels within organisational requirements
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to, and satisfy, all of the requirements of the elements of this unit and include demonstration of:
following applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice relevant to reconditioning band mill wheels
following organisational policies and procedures relevant to reconditioning band mill wheels
reconditioning band mill wheels in line with the work order and within prescribed organisational requirements
removing and replacing wheels from band mill if faces are to be resurfaced on a metal lathe
assessing band mill wheel conditions in line with standard operating procedures
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment of required knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to follow relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements
The following resources should be made available:
workplace location or simulated workplace
materials and equipment relevant to undertaking work applicable to this unit
specifications and work instructions
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the FPI11 Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of required knowledge
Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on required knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of employability skills
Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the required knowledge
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate
Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English
Where the participant has a disability, reasonable adjustment may be applied during assessment
Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role
