Overview of assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently

comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations

adopt and carry out correct procedures prior to during and after use of hand and power tools

as a minimum

identify six commonly used glass and glazing sector hand and power tools

indicate hand and power tool applications and limitations

effectively and safely use hand and power tools in the workplace environment

maintain and safely store hand and power tools

follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

process glass to required standard

prevent damage to surrounds goods tools equipment or products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

apply hand and power tools correctly and safely

complete operator maintenance on hand and power tools

store tools correctly

work effectively with others

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge other than confirmatory questions will usually be conducted in an offsite context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standard requirements

The following resources should be made available

glass and glazing sector and aluminium hand and power tools

materials used in the manufacturing andor processing of glass and glazing and aluminium products

operating procedures

work area and workplace requirements

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF02 Furnishing Industry Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under projectrelated conditions real or simulated and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
