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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Prepare for glass moving | 1.1 | Work requirements in the form of type and quantity of glass to be relocated are identified from work instructions |
| | 1.2 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements for movement of glass sheets by mechanical means, including personal protective equipment, are observed throughout the work |
| | 1.3 | Glass sheets to be moved are identified and weight is estimated or calculated and safe movement requirements applied |
| | 1.4 | Appropriate mechanical handling equipment, tools and equipment are identified |
| | 1.5 | Risks arising from the required lifting to self, others, material and equipment are identified, load carrying, set down or movement of the glass |
| | 1.6 | Equipment and controls, including emergency stops and guards, are identified and checked for safe operation with any damaged or worn parts reported to appropriate personnel |
| | 1.7 | Glass is checked for imperfections and damage prior to movement |
2 | Plan glass movement | 2.1 | Locations for glass storage are identified and routes to be followed determined |
| | 2.2 | Required clearances are compared to available space and adjustments made |
| | 2.3 | Process for relocating glass is planned, including predicting and planning for potential difficulties |
| | 2.4 | Proposed process is checked against advisory standards and workplace procedures for compliance |
3 | Relocate glass | 3.1 | Equipment is operated in accordance with approved advisory standards, manufacturer instructions, workplace procedures and WHS requirements |
| | 3.2 | Planned process and route are followed and glass is relocated without damage to material, personnel or equipment |
| | 3.3 | Glass is labelled and stored following workplace procedures ensuring there are no projections |
| | 3.4 | Relocation is checked to see that it meets work requirements, and any differences reported |
4 | Complete work | 4.1 | Waste and scrap material are removed for disposal or recycling, as required |
| | 4.2 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate |
| | 4.3 | Handling equipment is cleaned, maintained and stored according to workplace procedures |
| | 4.4 | Workplace documentation is completed, as required |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Use correct personal protective safety apparel and safety regulations for overhead lifting
Safely use gantry cranes up to 4.9 SWL, including relevant standards and regulations
Safely use vacuum rigs or scissor grabs for lifting single glass sheets
Follow pre-safety and inspection procedures, calculate weight, and safely load and secure glass
Relocate single sheets of glass by vacuum or scissor grabs up to 4.5 m2 (170 kg)
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
Qualities and characteristics of glass, including hazards and handling requirements, and the behaviour of glass sheets when lifted and moved
Work flow requirements in relation to the movement of glass by mechanical means
Principles, requirements and techniques of moving glass sheets by mechanical means
Workplace safety system requirements related to the moving of glass sheets by mechanical means
Capabilities, operating processes and procedures of mechanical handling equipment
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to mechanical glass handling equipment, glass sheet to be relocated, workplace operating procedures, personal protection equipment and an appropriate work area.
