This unit addresses the knowledge and skills required to prepare and install mirrors.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Nil
This unit contains employability skills.
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 fabricate and install mirrors 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: measure for mirror installations cut and float mirror up to 6 mm, including vinyl backed carry out edgeworking drill holes in mirrors prepare walls construct and fit mirror frames and J-mould identify and use water, spirit, dumpy and laser levels set plumb and level lines fit framed, wall, safety and security mirrors, including return mirrors with minimal deflection clean and present finished mirrors calculate the cost of mirrors, edgework, materials and labour Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment |
Resource implications | Mirrors, aluminium framing material, fixing/fasteners, workplace operating procedures, 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 fabrication and installation equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |

(add new lines for each of the 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, optimise glass sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage use the limited workplace technology related to the fabrication and installation of mirrors |
Required knowledge |
workflow in relation to the fabrication and installation of mirrors workplace safety system requirements related to the fabrication and installation of mirrors characteristics of materials used and uses of products produced identification of equipment, processes and procedures related to the fabrication and installation of mirrors relevant Australian Standards |
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, standards, building codes, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the fabrication and installation process. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the planning, fabrication and installation of mirrors Work is generally performed individually, with general supervision and may be part of a production process |

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.
