Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to cut and process flat laminated glass
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Information is accessed and interpreted from laminated glass supplier specifications
   • Laminated glass is sourced according to work order and job specifications and checked for quality
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Glass cutting equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Work is planned to minimise off-cuts and use time efficiently
2. Fabricate templates and patterns
   • Accurate measurements are taken or checked to prepare templates and patterns
   • Suitable materials and equipment are used to fabricate templates and patterns
   • Template and pattern are marked out and fabricated according to workplace instructions, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
3. Process glass
   • Glass is measured, marked and cut out according to measurements, template and pattern, and safety and environmental requirements
   • Glass cutting is completed according to workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to glass being cut
   • Glass edges are arris or bevel edged according to workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to glass
4. Complete work processes
