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 conduct commercial and structural reglazing

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 glass, frames, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

To complete a minimum of:

safely remove broken glass from commercial and architectural frames

prepare frame and opening including cleanup and/or frame repair

measure glass for commercial windows, doors, show and food cabinets including sliding tracks, shop fronts and returns, architectural, curtain wall, structural and overhead glazing

select glass to comply with AS1288

cut and process glass in accordance with AS4667

identify and work with ladders and scaffolding to the relevant regulations and standards

identify and apply glazing, structural sealants and tapes

install and weatherproof glazing materials

calculate the cost of glass and labour

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Frames, glass, fixing material, sealants, workplace operating procedures and work orders, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area/site.

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 process 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 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 workplace technology related to commercial and structural reglazing

Required knowledge

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

relevant Australian Standards

the techniques, methods, materials and process of commercial and structural reglazing

workflow in relation to fitting glass

the application and operation of tools and equipment used

identification of equipment, processes and procedures

workplace safety system requirements related to commercial and structural reglazing

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

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the handling and installation of glass products

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

OHS requirements may include legislation, standards, building codes, material safety management systems and local safe operating 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.
