| | 2.5 | Ladders and scaffolding to comply with the relevant regulations and standards are identified and erected, where required, for the installation |
| | 2.6 | Frame or opening is prepared to receive glass |
| | 2.7 | Fixing and sealing materials are prepared by mixing or cutting to length, as appropriate |
3 | Identify site conditions and constraints | 3.1 | Site safety hazards are recognised and corrective action taken to reduce injury to self and others |
| | 3.2 | Any on-site difficulties are identified and addressed in accordance with regulations and enterprise agreements |
| | 3.3 | Special characteristics of the glass aperture are identified in relation to the effect of the glass fitting process on the finished job |
| | 3.4 | Covering material is applied, where necessary, to protect existing fixtures and fittings |
4 | Fit glass | 4.1 | Glass and/or acrylic glazing product is fixed to the frame or opening using the selected method and in accordance with recognised Australian and industry standards |
| | 4.2 | Solvents and sealants are used in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and Australian Standards |
| | 4.3 | Excess sealing material is removed and the glass and frame cleaned after fixing |
5 | Inspect final product and clean up work area | 5.1 | Completed installation is checked to ensure compliance with customer requirements, specifications and Australian Standards |
| | 5.2 | Work area is cleaned and left in a safe condition and rubbish removed from work area and disposed of in accordance with relevant statutory requirements and enterprise requirements |
| | 5.3 | Any ladders or scaffolding used in the installation are disassembled and removed |
| | 5.4 | Tools, equipment and materials are cleaned and stored following workplace procedures |
| | 5.5 | Waste and scrap material are removed for disposal or recycling, as required |
| | 5.6 | Workplace documentation is completed in accordance with workplace requirements, including calculating the cost of glass, fittings, materials and labour |
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
Measure glass for curtain walls, balustrades, suspended and/or overhead glazing
Select glass to comply with AS 1288:2006 Glass in buildings - Selection and installation, and cut and process glass in accordance with AS/NZS 4667:2000 Quality requirements for cut-to-size and processed glass
Note, wherever Australia Standards are listed they apply at the time of publication, but the most current version (including amendments) or replacement versions are to be used.
Identify and erect appropriate ladders and scaffolding to comply with the relevant regulations and standards
Identify and apply glazing, structural sealants and tapes, and install glazing materials and weatherproofing
Calculate the cost of glass, fittings, materials and labour
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
Types, qualities and characteristics of glass and acrylic glazing products, including hazards and handling requirements
Techniques, methods, materials and process of preparing and installing structural glazing
Relevant Australian Standards
Work flow requirements in relation to the preparation and installation of structural glazing
Correct application and operation of tools and equipment used
Identification of equipment, processes and procedures
Workplace safety system requirements related to the preparation and installation of structural glazing
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 frames, glass and acrylic glazing products, fixing material, sealants, workplace operating procedures and work orders, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area/site.
