Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify work requirements
   • Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to leadlight and stained glass operations are verified and complied with
   • The process for fabricating and installing leadlight and stained glass windows and doors is identified
   • Types and quantities of materials required are calculated from plans or work instructions or by measuring the fixture opening
   • Cutting lists are prepared from plans, work instructions or measurements of opening to suit the window or door to be installed
   • Fittings, fixings and joining devices or materials are selected
   • Tools and equipment appropriate to the fixing method are identified
2. Prepare for work
   • Work sequence is determined in a logical order to suit the job
   • Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
   • Components of the leadlight and stained glass window or door are checked against specifications or job order
3. Fabricate and install leadlight and stained glass windows and doors
   • Materials are cut to cutting list requirements
   • Components of leadlight and stained glass window or door are assembled
   • Fittings are installed to window or door in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice
