Resource implications

Glass laminating equipment workplace operating procedures unprocessed materials personal protective 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 glass laminating equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Unit context

Glass laminating equipment

Tools and equipment are to include:

Materials are to include but are not limited to:

Personal protective equipment
