Carry out Stump Protection

Learning Outcomes:

Start Date: On demand

Safe Practice:
Operating the equipment in such a way as to put the candidate, Assessor or the environment at risk will cause the candidate to fail the test. All equipment must be of the standard required under current Health & Safety Legislation.

Complaints and Appeals
NPTC and its Assessment Centres have a formal Complaints and Appeals procedure. In the event of any dissatisfaction with the arrangements and conditions of assessment, the candidate should first contact the Assessment Centre through whom the assessment was arranged and submit the complaint in writing.

Validation of Equipment:
It is recognised that simple applicators are often not of a commercially available design, but rather a modification of a suitable container
for the purpose and are used by the chainsaw operator almost immediately a tree has been felled.

Site:
Work site appropriate to the normal work situation of the candidate.

Assessment:
The Assessor may be an appropriately qualified approved Chainsaw Assessor or an appropriately qualified approved Pesticides
Assessor.
The assessment must be conducted as it relates to the candidate’s normal working situation.
