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 orderjob instruction and locate and apply relevant information including relevant glass and window rating systems to operate glass laminating equipment

plan the conduct of glass laminating operations

set up operate monitor and perform operator maintenance of glass laminating equipment

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

identify and demonstrate glass flopping and washing operation and procedures

identify and demonstrate the white room operation and procedures

safely load glass into the prepress oven and stacker

operate the prepress oven and stacker during the glass laminating process

operate an air lifter

operate an autoclave

safely complete the requirements of the packing area

operate a laminating cutting table

carry out postlaminating procedures

perform testing classification and marking of toughened glass in accordance with ASNZS Safety glazing materials in buildings

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 laminating equipment

workplace operating procedures

unprocessed materials

personal protective equipment

an appropriate work area

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
