2 | Prepare for work | 2.1 | Work sequence is planned in a logical order to suit the job |
| | 2.2 | Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition |
| | 2.3 | Coating/film to be applied is checked for defects or damage |
| | 2.4 | Surfaces are measured and materials and templates cut without causing damage according to accepted industry methods, materials and procedures |
| | 2.5 | Glass is checked for damage and suitable preparation, and cleaned/prepared using approved methods, materials and equipment following coating/film product manufacturer instructions and/or workplace practices |
| | 2.6 | Any faults/flaws are identified and reported in accordance with workplace procedures |
| | 2.7 | Appropriate workplace documentation is completed and handled, as required, by measuring, cutting and surface preparation outcomes |
3 | Apply coating/film | 3.1 | Equipment and accessories are used to handle the coating/film in accordance with manufacturer and workplace instructions |
| | 3.2 | Surfaces are kept clean and free of contamination according to the specifications and procedures for materials/product used |
| | 3.3 | Problems occurring during operation are identified and reported to appropriate persons in accordance with workplace procedures, and any authorised changes in working procedures and/or requirements followed |
4 | Inspect tinted product and refurbish work area | 4.1 | Glass is inspected and any film faults rectified in accordance with workplace procedures |
| | 4.2 | Australian Standard sticker is applied, if appropriate |
| | 4.3 | Tinted/coating products are removed for storage/further processing as required by workplace procedures |
5 | Complete work | 5.1 | Waste and scrap material are removed for disposal or recycling, as required |
| | 5.2 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate |
| | 5.3 | Tools, equipment and unused materials are removed and stored appropriately |
| | 5.4 | Appropriate workplace documentation to reflect application and inspection is completed and handled as required by workplace procedures |
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
Indicate ideal shapes for accurate pattern making
Demonstrate a sound knowledge of glass types and the need for care in cutting both film, glass and coating procedures
Accurately cut film from patterns and trim film on glass correctly handling and processing filmed and/or coated glass products
Clean all types of glass to ensure it is correctly prepared in accordance with coating/film manufacturer recommendations prior to coating/film applications
Follow manufacturer guidelines for correct processing procedures for the application of various films and coated products ensuring correct handling, storage and application of the products
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, for the different types of coated and/or filmed glass
Work flow requirements in relation to the application of coating/film to glass
Workplace safety system requirements and relevant technical information for applying coating/film to glass
Relevant Australian Standards
Glass film measuring and cutting procedures
Relevant surface preparation procedures, including cleaning agents and relevant cleaning procedures
Relevant application methods, including equipment, processes and procedures
Statutory legislation appropriate to the range of duties, including ADRs
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 film/coating materials, coated and uncoated glass sheet/product for processing, personal protective equipment, cleaning and other consumables, and work orders.
