Operate glass freefall rack and table

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit covers use of specialised glass and glazing handling equipment safely and effectively. Work is generally performed individually or in a team environment, with general supervision and may be part of a production process.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use freefall racks and tables.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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:

plan the freefalling of glass using the rack and table operation

interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to relocate glass using a rack and table

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

maintain required production output and product quality

as a minimum:

demonstrate pre-freefall glass inspections and safety procedures

move, position and operate air and tilt drop benches

deal with freefall factory run sizes (FRS) glass up to, and including, 10 mm thick

freefall 6.38 mm (or less) laminated glass

work effectively with others.

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:

glass freefall rack and table

workplace operating procedures

glass sheets

personal protective equipment

an appropriate work area.

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 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.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills include:

collecting, organising and understanding information skills related to work orders, basic plans and safety procedures

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

planning and organising skills for activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite, and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

working with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

using mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate work requirements, and optimise glass sizes for economical cutting

using pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, and avoid re-working and wastage

using workplace technology related to the operation of freefalling rack and table

modifying activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Required knowledge includes:

the qualities and characteristics of glass, including hazards and handling requirements

the principles and techniques of freefalling glass from a rack to a table

workplace safety system requirements related to the freefalling of glass

workflow requirements in relation to freefalling of glass using rack and table

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.

Work requirements include:

work performed in workplaces which are involved in the manufacture, processing and/or installation of sheet glass

OHS requirements may include:

legislation

standards

building codes

material safety management systems

local safe operating procedures

Personal protective equipmentincludes:

that prescribed under legislation, regulation and enterprise policies and practices, and may include:

gauntlets

gloves

safety glasses

hard hats

safety footwear

aprons and overalls

Glass may be:

annealed or laminated

Tools and equipment may include:

storage rack

drop bench

glass handling equipment and hand tools

air flotation and tilt benches with pneumatic breaker bars

Materials are to include but are not limited to:

annealed and laminated glass

Workplace procedures include:

the use and operation of freefalling equipment

the handling and movement of glass

workplace instructions, including job sheets, plans, cutting lists, drawings and designs

safety standards, including personal protective equipment, OHS regulations and enterprise requirements

manufacturer instructions for the use of equipment and materials

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
