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 orders and plan processing operations

Identify the materials, patterns/plans, processes, machines, equipment and settings to undertake a glass processing task

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Set up for and prepare to process glass

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:

identify and use AS4667 Quality requirements for cut to size and processed glass

complete straight cuts by hand and diamond saws, simple shapes, truncated and radius corners, circles and ovals in annealed and laminated glass greater than 6.38 mm and up to 1.0 m 2

rough and smooth arris annealed and laminated glass greater than 6.38 mm by hand up to 0.5 m 2

drill holes with portable diamond drills and tungsten spear point drills in annealed and laminated glass greater than 6.38 mm up to 0.5 m 2

calculate the cost of glass and edgework

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Glass sheet/product, processing facilities/equipment (such as cutting equipment and glass edging equipment), table, work area, work orders and appropriate safety and personal protection equipment.

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 relevant glass processing equipment, materials, 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 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 area, estimate glass requirements and minimise waste

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate processing problems, avoid re-working and avoid wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the processing of glass including handling aids, tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

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

identification of glass processing equipment, functions and procedures

the set up and operation of glass processing equipment including procedures for reporting product defects or equipment faults

workplace safety system requirements related to glass processing

workflow in relation to glass processing

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

OHS requirements may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substance and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures

Quality standards and procedures

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.
