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 optimise glass sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials

use prechecking and inspection techniques to plan work avoiding reworking and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the fabrication and installation of mirrors

Required knowledge

workflow in relation to the fabrication and installation of mirrors

workplace safety system requirements related to the fabrication and installation of mirrors

characteristics of materials used and uses of products produced

identification of equipment processes and procedures related to the fabrication and installation of mirrors

relevant Australian Standards

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 fabricate and install mirrors

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 demonstrate the ability to

measure for mirror installations

cut and float mirror up to mm including vinyl backed

carry out edgeworking

drill holes in mirrors

prepare walls

construct and fit mirror frames and Jmould

identify and use water spirit dumpy and laser levels

set plumb and level lines

fit framed wall safety and security mirrors including return mirrors with minimal deflection

clean and present finished mirrors

calculate the cost of mirrors edgework materials and labour

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Mirrors aluminium framing material fixingfasteners workplace operating procedures 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 fabrication and installation equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Unit context

Preparing and installing mirrors involves:

Mirrors may include:

Tools and equipment may include:

Materials are to include but are not limited to:

Fixings and fasteners include:

Personal protective equipment
