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 of work with work supervisor other workers and customers 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 work requirements and assemble required materials

use prechecking and inspection techniques to plan work avoiding reworking and unnecessary effort and plan routes including the avoidanceovercoming of obstacleshazards

use the limited workplace technology related to the relocation of block glass sheet by mechanical means

Required knowledge

the qualities and characteristics of glass including the hazards and handling requirements and the behaviour of block glass sheet when lifted and moved

workflow in relation to the movement of glass by mechanical means

the principles requirements and techniques of moving block glass sheet by mechanical means

workplace safety system requirements related to the moving of block glass by mechanical means

capabilities operating processes and procedures of mechanical handling equipment

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 orderjob instruction and locate and apply relevant information to plan the relocation of glass using mechanical means

Select and use appropriate equipment and techniques to relocate block glass sheet

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials include 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

maintain required production output and product quality

As a minimum demonstrate the ability to

identify personal protective safety apparel and safety regulations for overhead lifting

identify and safely use gantry cranes up to swl including standards and regulations

identify and use block grabs slings and chains for lifting blocks or end caps of glass sheets

calculate the weight of glass

safely load and secure glass

relocate blocks and end caps of glass sheets by grabs slings and chains up to t

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Mechanical glass handling equipment glass sheet to be relocated workplace operating procedures and personal protection equipment and an appropriate work area

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

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

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant mechanical equipment block glass sheet work instructions and deadlines

Unit context

Block/bulk glass may be:
