Required Skills
Required skills include: collecting, organising and understanding materials, technology and information related to leadlight and stained glass components using communication skills to the level required to confirm work requirements and specifications; communicate effectively regarding work requirements with supervisors, other workers and customers; report work outcomes and problems; and relate to people from a range of social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and of varying physical and mental abilities using literacy skills to the level required to understand information related to work orders, including common industry terminology, plans and safety procedures; prepare reports; and interpret technical information and specifications maintaining quality records related to leadlight and stained glass components working with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity identifying, anticipating and responding to faults in leadlight and stained glass components recognising and responding to circumstances outside instructions or personal competence planning and organising activities, including the preparation and layout of own worksite, and the obtaining and use of tools and materials to avoid any backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage using mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and volume, and estimate work and material requirements clarifying and confirming work instructions planning own work within the given task parameters accepting responsibility for given tasks setting, monitoring and satisfying personal work goals maintaining current knowledge of tools and materials maintaining current knowledge of leadlight and stained glass components seeking learning opportunities using the workplace technology related to leadlight and stained glass components, including computers, measuring devices and recording systems |
Required knowledge includes: state or territory OHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for assembling leadlight and stained glass components organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for component assembly environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material established communication channels and protocols problem identification and resolution types of tools and equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance characteristics of leadlight and stained glass components and materials used in assembly procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information |
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. | |
Overview of assessment | Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently: locate, interpret and apply relevant information, standards and specifications comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for component assembly communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: minimise the risk of injury to self or others prevent damage to components, equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality safely and effectively use operational tools and equipment assemble a range of leadlight and stained glass components. |
Context of, and specific resources for assessment | The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace. Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standard requirements. The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to assembly of leadlight and stained glass components specifications and work instructions. |
Method of assessment | Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF02 Furnishing Industry Training Package. Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge. Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application. Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process. Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances. Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency. |
