List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Prepare for work | 1.1 | Work instructions are used to determine job requirements for a basic glass and glazing job, including design variations, tolerances, process, materials, finish and quantity |
| | 1.2 | Work sequence is planned and procedures are determined for checking quality at each stage of the process |
| | 1.3 | Work health and safety requirements (WHS), including personal protective equipment, are observed throughout the work |
| | 1.4 | Preparatory drawings/set-outs for tasks are confirmed and a suitable work area selected |
| | 1.5 | Materials are selected following work instructions |
| | 1.6 | Tools and equipment and a table suitable for the work are identified and checked for safe and effective operation |
2 | Fabricate and assemble components | 2.1 | Material is set out according to work instructions, prepared, and components marked according to workplace procedures |
| | 2.2 | Tools, machines and equipment are used in accordance with safety requirements and manufacturer specifications |
| | 2.3 | Components are fabricated, including any specified shapes, angles or curves, and checked against set-out and job requirements |
| | 2.4 | Components are fitted to job requirements and the assembly process undertaken according to workplace procedures |
| | 2.5 | Item is checked for compliance with specifications and finished in accordance with work instructions using edging equipment, where required |
3 | Finalise operation and maintain equipment | 3.1 | Work area is cleaned, hand and/or power tools and equipment are cleaned, maintained and stored in accordance with workplace procedures |
| | 3.2 | Off-cuts and unused materials are collected and stored for re-use or disposed of following workplace procedures |
| | 3.3 | Waste and scrap materials are dealt with following workplace procedures |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Adapt or vary glass and glazing designs and prepare, fabricate and assemble at least one (1) basic glass and glazing project which:
is of thin glass (annealed glass or laminated glass of less than or 7 mm thick)
requires the use of glass and glazing hand tools and basic glass and glazing processing machines
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
Interpretation of plan representation of product design
Preparation of drawings/set-outs
Work flow requirements in relation to glass and glazing projects
Identification of glass and glazing hand and basic processing tools, materials, equipment, processes and procedures
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to plans/designs, glass and glazing hand tools and/or basic processing machines, project materials and a specified project.
