   • Tools and equipment selected to carry out tasks are consistent with the requirements of the job, checked for serviceability and any faults are rectified or reported prior to commencement
   • Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use
   • Workplace environment considerations are identified and measures to reduce noise, dust and obstacles are applied
   • Assembly sequence is planned
   • Fixing and joining devices are selected in line with work instructions and type of materials to be joined
   • Jigs are selected and checked for suitability of purpose
2. Assemble components
   • Components are laid out and assembled using jigs and appropriate fastenings
   • Hand and/or power tools, equipment are used as required
   • Assembled work is checked for compliance with specifications
   • Components are prepared, assembled and fitted as per specification
   • Work which does not meet quality specifications is repaired or tagged for further processing or recycling/disposal
   • Finished products are organised and stored in holding area
3. Clean work area/s and maintain equipment
   • Faulty and/or defective equipment is tagged and reported in accordance with workplace procedures
   • Waste and scrap is removed following workplace procedures
   • Tools and equipment used is cleaned; inspected for serviceable condition and stored appropriately in accordance with workplace procedures
   • Equipment and work area clean-up is maintained in accordance with workplace procedures

Evidence Required

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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Location interpretation and application of relevant information standards and specifications Comply with legislation regulations standards codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for component assembly Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to minimise the risk of injury to self or others prevent damage to components equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality Safe and effective operational use of tools and equipment Assemble a range of lead light and stained glass components
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 Standards requirements The following resources should be made available workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to assembly of lead light and stained glass components specifications and work instructions
Method of assessment	Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the 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 its correct interpretation and application Assessment may be applied under project related 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

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
OHS requirements	are to be in accordance with Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation and regulations, organisational safety policies and procedures. Requirements may include but not be limited to the use of personal protective equipment and clothing, fire fighting equipment, first aid equipment, hazard and risk control and elimination of hazardous materials and substances, manual handling including lifting and carrying.
Legislative requirements	are to be in accordance with applicable legislation from all levels of government that affect organisational operation. Requirements may include but not be limited to award and enterprise agreements, industrial relations, Australian Standards, confidentiality and privacy, OHS, the environment, equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, relevant industry codes of practice, duty of care and heritage.
Organisational requirements	may include but not be limited to legal, organisational and site guidelines, policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility, quality assurance, procedural manuals, quality and continuous improvement processes and standards, OHS, emergency and evacuation, ethical standards, recording and reporting, access and equity principles and practices, equipment use, maintenance and storage, environmental management (waste disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines)
