Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




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.

Critical aspects of evidence

Interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to plan the relocation of glass by hand

Apply safe handling requirements for moving glass by hand, including use of personal protective equipment

Plan the movement of the glass sheets

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 the ability to:

demonstrate safety and inspection procedures prior to lifting

safely lift and relocate annealed and laminated glass up to and including 1.2 m2 (17 kg)

safely team lift and relocate annealed and laminated glass up to and including 4.5 m2 (68 kg)

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Glass sheet to be relocated, workplace operating procedures and personal protection equipment and an appropriate work area.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment may be 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 glass sheets, work instructions and deadlines.


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

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

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 of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, 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 work requirements and assemble required materials

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and unnecessary effort and plan routes, including the avoidance/overcoming of obstacles/hazards

use the limited workplace technology related to the relocation of glass sheets by hand

Required knowledge

the qualities and characteristics of glass, including the hazards and handling requirements and the behaviour of glass sheets when lifted and moved

workflow in relation to the movement of glass by hand

the principles, requirements and techniques of moving glass sheets by hand

workplace safety system requirements related to the moving of glass sheets by hand

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.

Unit context

This unit covers work involving the movement of glass sheets by hand

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the planning and conduct of the operation. This may include team lifting

Work is generally performed individually, with general supervision and may be part of a production process

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

Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements

Sheet glass may include, but is not limited to:

glass for residential and commercial windows and doors

tinted and heat reflecting

mirrors and furniture applications

Glass may be annealed or laminated

Tools and equipment are to include:

glass handling equipment and hand tools

Tools and equipment may include:

lever and pump vacuum lifters

slings and trolleys

Materials are to include but are not limited to:

annealed and laminated glass

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulation and enterprise policies and practices. It may include:

gauntlets

gloves

safety glasses

hard hats

safety footwear

aprons and overalls

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the handing and movement of glass

Work instructions, including job sheets and plans

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

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.

Observation Checklist
