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 operate glass toughening equipment

Plan the conduct of glass toughening operations

Set up, operate, monitor and perform operator maintenance of glass toughening equipment

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 the ability to:

identify the features of the glass toughening process including the principles, purpose and properties of toughened glass

identify the procedures required in the glass toughening process

perform pre-inspection and preparation procedures on glass for toughening

safely load and operate a glass toughening furnace

perform testing, classification and marking of toughened glass in accordance with AS/NZS 2208 Safety glazing materials

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Glass toughening equipment, workplace operating procedures, unprocessed materials, personal protective 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 relevant glass toughening 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

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, optimise glass sizes for handling and processing and assemble required materials

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage

use the workplace technology related to the operation of glass toughening equipment

Required knowledge

procedures for the set up, operation and operator maintenance of glass toughening equipment

workflow relating to the operation of glass toughening equipment

workplace procedures for the reporting of material, product or equipment faults
