Guidance Information


1 Definition

Timber and lumber are used to describe sawn product in a variety of shapes.

Worksite documentation refers to instructions to staff on policy and procedures (including the application of legislation to worksite situations), which are formally documented, and are available for reference at the worksite. Examples are standard operating procedures, specifications, manuals, and manufacturer’s information.


2 The following apply to the performance of all outcomes of this unit standard:

a All work practices must meet recognised codes of practice and documented worksite health and safety and environmental procedures (where these exceed the code) for personal, product and worksite health and safety, and must meet the obligations required under current legislation, including the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992, and its subsequent amendments.

b All work practices must meet documented worksite operating procedures. This includes the recording (by electronic or non-electronic means) of activities, events, and decisions.

c All evidence of communications gathered in relation to this unit standard must be in accordance with worksite procedures for content, recipient, timing and method.

3 Performance criteria 2.2 and 2.3 must be demonstrated and assessed in accordance with the reference text Western Lumber Grading Rules 05 (Portland: Western Wood Products Association (WWPA), 1998).

Range practices may include but are not limited to – isolation procedures, lock-outs, emergency stops, machine guarding, the wearing of appropriate safety equipment.


Outcome 2


Calculate board footage (volume) of random width timber pieces.


Performance criteria


2.1 Timber lengths are determined, using a measuring device and rounded down to the nearest whole foot.


Range evidence is required of at least six different lengths.


2.2 Board footages (volumes) are determined using a shop stick in accordance with USA WWPA Rules.


Range evidence is required of at least two thicknesses selected from 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, and 8/4 inches.


2.3 Board footages (volumes) are adjusted for scaling off in accordance with USA WWPA Rules.
