Required skills include

collecting organising and understanding information related to work orders basic plans and safety procedures

using communication skills to the level required to confirm work requirements and specifications communicate effectively regarding work requirements with supervisors other workers and customers report work outcomes and problems and to relate to people from a range of social cultural and ethnic backgrounds and of varying physical and mental abilities

using literacy skills to the level required to understand information related to work orders including common industry terminology plans and safety procedures prepare reports and interpret technical information and specifications

planning and organising activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking workflow interruptions or wastage

working with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

using mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate area and weight estimate glass requirements and minimise waste

using prechecking and inspection techniques to anticipate processing problems and avoid reworking and wastage

using the limited workplace technology related to the processing of glass by basic machines including handling aids tools equipment calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge includes

the qualities and characteristics of glass including hazards and handling requirements

workplace safety system requirements related to glass processing by basic machines

identification of glass processing equipment including functions and procedures

the setup and operation of glass processing equipment including procedures for reporting machineproduct defects or equipment faults

workflow requirements in relation to glass processing

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

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

interpret work orders and plan processing operations

identify the materials patternsplans processes machines equipment and settings to undertake a glass cutting drilling shaping andor edging task by basic machines

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

apply ASNZS Quality requirements for cuttosize and processed glass

set up for and prepare to process glass

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

maintain required production output and product quality

as a minimum

identify and use ASNZS Quality requirements for cuttosize and processed glass

complete straight cuts truncated and radius corners circles and fan holes and pay holes by basic cutting machine in glass up to mm in annealed and laminated glass up to m

cut up to mm annealed and laminated glass using a diamond saw

arrise grind and polish flat round and mitre edges on up to mm annealed and laminated glass up to m

drill holes with tungsten or diamond drill bits in up to mm annealed and laminated glass up to m

calculate the cost of glass and edgework

work effectively with others

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

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 Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available

glass sheetproduct up to mm thick

processing facilitiesequipment such as basic cutting and edging machines

table

work area

work orders

appropriate safety and personal protection equipment

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
