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 backtracking 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 workplace technology related to the preparation and installation of structural glazing

Required knowledge

the types qualities and characteristics of glass including the hazards and handling requirements

the techniques methods materials and process of preparing and installing structural glazing

relevant Australian Standards

workflow in relation to the preparation and installation of structural glazing

the application and operation of tools and equipment used

identification of equipment processes and procedures

workplace safety system requirements related to the preparation and installation of structural glazing

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 structural glazing

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

To complete a minimum of

measure glass for curtain walls balustrades suspended and overhead glazing

select glass to comply with AS

cut and process glass in accordance with AS

identify and erect appropriate ladders and scaffolding to comply with the relevant regulations and standards

identification and application of glazing structural sealants and tapes

install glazing materials and weatherproofing

calculate the cost of glass and labour

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Frames glass fixing material sealants workplace operating procedures and work orders personal protective equipment and an appropriate work areasite

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

Tools and equipment may include:

Materials are to include but are not limited to:

Types of glass may include but are not limited to:

Methods of glazing may include:

Personal protective equipment
