| | 4.3 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate |
| | 4.4 | Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and removed and stored appropriately |
| | 4.5 | Workplace records are maintained according to 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
Identify leadlight and stained glass windows and doors, their properties, uses and limitations
Assess the likely impact of various environmental effects on leadlight and stained glass windows and doors
Fabricate and install at least one (1) residential leadlight and stained glass window and one (1) residential leadlight and stained glass door
Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the fabrication and installation of leadlight and stained glass windows and doors
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

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 materials, equipment and specifications relevant to fabricating and installing leadlight and stained glass windows or doors.
