Unit of Competency MSFGG3003 - Move block and bulk glass sheet by mechanical means
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers moving block/bulk flat glass by mechanical means in workplaces which are involved in the manufacture, processing and/or installation of sheet glass. It may include meeting local licensing requirements for use of slings and chains where these apply.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 mechanical glass handling equipment, glass sheet to be relocated, workplace operating procedures, personal protection equipment and an appropriate work area.
