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 lead light and stained glass panels construction and repair terminology and techniques the principles 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 installation of heritage 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 heritage requirements specific to leadlight and stained glass engineering aspects of supporting leadlight and stained glass panels during the installation process established communication channels and protocols problem identification and resolution for heritage leadlight and stained glass 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 appropriate installation methodologies install heritage leadlight and stained glass panels comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the removal of heritage 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 or Australian Standard requirements. The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to the installation of heritage leadlight and stained glass panels following conservation work 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. |
