modifying activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Required knowledge includes

the qualities and characteristics of glass including hazards and handling requirements for the different types of coated andor filmed glass

workflow requirements in relation to the application of coatingfilm to glass

workplace safety system requirements and relevant technical information for applying coatingfilm to glass

relevant Australian Standards

glass film measuring and cutting procedures

relevant surface preparation procedures including cleaning agents and relevant cleaning procedures

relevant application methods including equipment processes and procedures

statutory legislation appropriate to the range of duties including Australian Design Rules ADRs

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

identify film products and equipment required and plan the work sequence

interpret work orderjob instruction and locate and apply relevant information in handling and application of different coatings and films

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

maintain required production output and product quality

as a minimum

indicate ideal shapes for accurate pattern making

demonstrate a sound knowledge of glass types and the need for care in cutting both film glass and coating procedures

demonstrate accuracy in cutting film from patterns and trimming film on glass

demonstrate knowledge of the handling and processing of filmed andor coated glass products

demonstrate knowledge of cleaning all types of glass to ensure it is correctly prepared in accordance with coatingfilm manufacturer recommendations prior to coatingfilm applications

follow manufacturer guidelines for correct processing procedures for the application of various films and coated products

demonstrate knowledge of filmcoating manufacture to ensure correct handling storage and application of the products

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

filmcoating materials

coated and uncoated glass sheetproduct for processing

an appropriate work area

tools

personal protective equipment

cleaning and other consumables

work orders

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
