What an assessment for FWPCOT3314 must cover

75 assessable components: 3 elements (14 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 54 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 work

1.1Determine soil and water protection requirements for the work from work order or instruction and, where required, seek clarification from appropriate personnel
1.2Identify, assess and take actions to mitigate safety risks and hazards associated with soil and water protection operations
1.3Identify and report existing and potential environmental risks and hazards to relevant personnel
1.4Consult and maintain communication with team members and other appropriate personnel to ensure that work is coordinated effectively with others in the workplace
1.5Select tools, equipment and machinery needed for the work, and check for correct operation and safety

2 Conduct erosion and other pollutant control measures

2.1Identify soil characteristics, weather conditions, environmental features and other factors likely to influence soil and water protection measures
2.2Apply erosion, sediment and other pollution control measures when conducting the work according to forest operational plans
2.3Identify situations requiring specialist advice, and seek assistance
2.4Document and report work activities according to workplace procedures

3 Monitor work practices that impact on soil and water conditions

3.1Monitor and make recommendations to adjust work practices to meet changing soil and water conditions
3.2Monitor and maintain soil erosion and sediment control works and pollution prevention measures according to workplace requirements
