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 orders and plan cutting operations

Identify the materials, patterns/plans, processes, machines, equipment and settings to cut glazing materials

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

Set up for and prepare to cut glazing materials

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:

cut 3 pieces of glass to within .05 mm tolerance

cut 3 pieces of acrylic to within .05 mm tolerance

cut 2 pieces of oval glass to within 1.5 mm tolerance

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Glazing material, cutting equipment, table, work area, work orders, standard work procedures 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 should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which together form a part of the job role.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant glazing material cutting 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 glazing material requirements and minimise waste

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

use the limited workplace technology related to the handling and cutting of glazing materials, including handling aids, tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

the qualities and characteristics of glazing materials, including the hazards and handling requirements

identification of glazing material cutting equipment, functions and procedures

the set up and operation of glazing material cutting equipment, including procedures for reporting product defects or equipment faults

workplace safety system requirements related to the cutting of glazing materials

workflow in relation to the cutting of glazing materials

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 scope

This unit addresses the work involved in cutting and handling glazing materials used in picture framing

Unit context

OHS requirements may include legislation, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures

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, preparation and cutting and handling glazing materials

Glazing materials include, but are not limited to:

plain sheet glass

speciality glass

non-glare glass

UV clear glass

UV non-glare glass

sheet acrylic

conservation acrylic

mirrors

Tools and equipment are to include:

flat felt-covered cutting tables

tungsten wheel glass cutters

wall-mounted glass cutters

saws

scoring tools

speed cutters

T-squares or L-squares

tape measures

marking pens or chinagraph pencils

templates and lubricants

Personal protection equipment

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

gloves

safety glasses and footwear

aprons and overalls

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the use and operation of tools and equipment required for the handling and cutting of glazing materials

Workplace instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communications

Manufacturer instructions for the use of equipment and materials

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.
