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 with work supervisor other workers 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 and estimate material requirements

use prechecking and inspection techniques to anticipate working problems avoid reworking and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to this glass and glazing project including tools equipment materials and measuring devices

Required knowledge

the interpretation of plan representation of product design

the preparation of drawingsset outs

workflow in relation to glass and glazing projects

identification of glass and glazing hand and basic processing tools materials equipment processes and procedures

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 instructions and locate and apply relevant information

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

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

achieve required production output and product quality

Adapt or vary glass and glazing designs

Prepare fabricate and assemble at least one basic glass and glazing project which

is of thin glass annealed glass of less than or mm thick or laminated glass of less than or mm thick

requires the use of glass and glazing hand tools and basic glass and glazing processing machines

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Access to plansdesigns glass and glazing hand tools andor basic processing machines equipment materials a work area and a specified project
