This document contains an assessment for a student to manually handle, sort, stack, and store carpentry materials. The assessment will take place in a simulated workshop environment and requires the student to sort timber and sheeting into piles based on size, stack the materials safely on pallets, secure the loads, and have them moved by forklift. The assessor will use a checklist to evaluate whether the student demonstrates key skills satisfactorily such as planning, safe material handling, preparing loads for mechanical movement, and cleaning up. The student will have two attempts to pass the assessment.
