SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Carry out maintenance checks on equipment used for culling or harvesting.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Suitable equipment is selected for a particular culling or harvesting operation.

You must know what kind of suitable equipment you gone use for the type of harvesting. E.g. is the specie gone be dead or alive. What type of specie is that? Is it one specie or many, big or small? You must go and so research to know what you gone do to catch it.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Equipment is checked for evidence of wear and tear.

If you choose equipment you must check if the equipment is still usable or tear or wear. Check also if the equipment is serviced. Why you need to do it, is because it is important if you go and catch an animal and the net is tearing, he can see through it and my run through it and you and another people can get hurt.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Needed maintenance work is carried out to ensure trouble free service as it applies to the use of the identified equipment.

If you use equipment you must know if it’s serviced or in good shape to use it, if you don’t you my get problems, or get hurt.

E.g. a knife must be sharp to use.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Carry out appropriate harvesting procedures.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Appropriate harvesting methods is identified and described as it applies to the culling of harvesting operation.

You choice a method you must decide which kind of method of that method you gone use and if it’s the best method.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Appropriate harvesting procedures are applied in the participation in harvesting or culling activities.

If you harvest ,you must follow the right procedures.
