Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify protection requirements
   • Applicable OHS, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to lead light and stained glass operations are verified and complied with
   • The process for achieving protection of stained glass and lead lighting is identified
   • Types and quantities of materials required for the protection of stained glass and lead lighting are identified from plans or work instructions
2. Prepare to protect stained glass and lead lighting
   • Work sequence is determined in a logical order to suit the job
   • Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
3. Install protection
   • Protection materials are cut shaped and formed to ensure correct size and application
   • Protection materials are installed or fitted
   • Problems occurring during the operation are identified and rectified
4. Finalise the installation
   • Protected glass is inspected for quality of work and repaired as required
   • Waste and scrap material is removed for disposal/recycling as required
   • Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate
   • Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and removed and stored appropriately
   • Workplace records are maintained

Required Skills

Required skills

collect organise and understand materials technology and information related to the protection of leadlight and stained glass communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications coordination of work with site supervisor other workers and customers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems maintain quality records related to the protection of leadlight and stained glass work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity identify anticipate and respond to faults in the protection of leadlight and stained glass recognise and respond to circumstances outside instructions or personal competence plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of own worksite and the obtaining and use of tools and materials to avoid any backtracking work flow interruptions or wastage use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate area and volume estimate work and material requirements clarify and confirm work instructions plan own work within the given task parameters accept responsibility for given tasks set monitor and satisfy personal work goals satisfy the competency requirements for the job maintain current knowledge of tools and materials maintain current knowledge of the protection of leadlight and stained glass seek learning opportunities use the workplace technology related to the protection of leadlight and stained glass including computers measuring devices and recording systems

Required knowledge

State or Territory OHS legislation regulations standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for lead light and stained glass operations stained glass and lead lighting protection terminology and techniques organisational and site standards requirements policies and procedures for the protection of glass types of glass and other materials used in the lead light and stained glass industry their characteristics properties uses and limitations characteristics and properties of materials used in the protection of stained glass and lead lighting environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material established communication channels and protocols problem identification and resolution storage systems and labelling procedures for the recording reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement

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	Read and interpret a workjob specification Identify a range of protection methods detailing their uses and limitations Identify and explain the properties and limitations of protection materials Identify the likely impact of various environmental effects on protected stained glass and lead lighting Protect stained glass and lead light to achieve required outcomes Comply with legislation regulations standards codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the painting of glass with vitreous paints Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area
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 protecting stained glass and lead lighting 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)
Protection	may include the requirement for security, protection from vandalism, protection from environmental reasons and protection for heritage reasons may include the use of protective films, wire barriers, double glazing and other glass panelling may be limited due to aesthetic reasons
Materials	may include but are not limited to protective film, wire meshing, double glazed panels, armoured glass and the materials required to apply or install these
Tools and equipment	may include work benches, squeegees and holsters, cutting and glazing tools, electric and pneumatic portable power tools, saws, drills and portable compressors and general hand tools
Records	may include but not be limited to the product type, size, inspection, inspection outcomes, quality outcomes and storage locations
