This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in leadlight and stained glass operations. The requirement to assess conservation requirements applies to an on-site environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at an artisan level. These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the individual’s job and authority.

Required knowledge includes: state or territory OHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for leadlight and stained glass operations leadlight and stained glass panels construction and repair terminology and techniques the principles and guidelines of the Burra Charter, the Australia International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) Charter for Places of Cultural Significance organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for the assessment of leadlight and stained glass panels types of glass and other materials, historically used in the leadlight and stained glass industry, their characteristics, properties, uses and limitations environmental effects on leadlight and stained glass panels heritage requirements specific to leadlight and stained glass established communication channels and protocols problem identification and resolution in the heritage leadlight and stained glass environment storage systems and labelling procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement |
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: read and interpret work/job specifications identify and interpret heritage legislation as it applies to leadlight and stained glass panels identify historical leadlight and stained glass panel construction methods identify framing, structural and construction techniques relevant to leadlight and stained glass panels identify the outcomes of various environmental effects on leadlight and stained glass panels identify faults and problems with leadlight and stained glass panels, and their remedial methods inspect a minimum of two (2) separate and differing leadlight and stained glass installations and assess the conservation requirements comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the assessment of conservation requirements of leadlight and stained glass panels communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area. |
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 and Australian Standard requirements. The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to the assessment of leadlight and stained glass panels to meet conservation requirements 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. |
Guidance information for assessment | |
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. | |

Glass faults may include, but are not limited to: | cracking crazing and missing sections deterioration of glass paint loose or flaking paint corroding glass through water or chemical action |
Structural faults | oxidation and rusting supports panel frame deterioration buckled and bowing panels cracked cames and defective putty faulty frames or frame settings broken tie wires and support bars |
Environmental effects | colour changes surface etching lead oxidation |
Other problems | building, wall and roof problems requiring specific remedial action, not directly related to the panel |
Conservation requirements | the Australia ICOMOS Burra Charter as meaning all of the processes of looking after a place needed to retain cultural significance. It includes maintenance and may include: preservation, restoration, reconstruction and adaptation dependent upon specific circumstances (It commonly involves a combination of more than one of these). It also requires that the stained glass conservator respects and understands the requirements of other specialist crafts and the role of other specialist artisans preservation is the process of maintaining the leadlight and stained glass panel in its existing state and of retarding deterioration restoration means returning the leadlight and stained glass panel to a known earlier state by removing accretions or by reassembling existing components without the introduction of new material reconstruction means returning the leadlight and stained glass panel to a known earlier state and is distinguished by the introduction of new materials |
Condition report | the client and may include such aspects as: the extent of the problems recommended solutions, including methodologies photographic evidence of current condition and location legislative requirements related to heritage leadlight and stained glass and their affects on the recommendations and probable costings |
