Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans and safety procedures communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination with work supervisor, other workers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate working problems, avoid re-working and wastage use the limited workplace technology related to this glass and glazing project including tools, equipment, materials and measuring devices |
Required knowledge |
the interpretation of plan representation of product design the preparation of drawings/set outs workflow in relation to glass and glazing projects identification of glass and glazing hand and basic processing tools, materials, equipment, processes and procedures |
Evidence Required
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects of evidence | Interpret work instructions and locate and apply relevant information Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: minimise the risk of injury to self and others prevent damage to goods, equipment and products achieve required production output and product quality Adapt or vary glass and glazing designs Prepare, fabricate and assemble at least one basic glass and glazing project which: is of thin glass (annealed glass of less than or 6 mm thick or laminated glass of less than or 6.38 mm thick) requires the use of glass and glazing hand tools and basic glass and glazing processing machines Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment |
Resource implications | Access to plans/designs, glass and glazing hand tools and/or basic processing machines, equipment, materials, a work area and a specified project. |
Method of assessment | Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment may be conducted in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency. |
Context of assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
