Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan to fabricate and install
   • Applicable OHS, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to lead light and stained glass operations are verified and complied with
   • The process for fabricating and installing lead light and stained glass windows and doors is identified
   • Types and quantities of materials required are calculated from plans or work instructions or by measuring the fixture opening
   • Cutting lists are prepared from plans, work instructions or measurements of opening to suit the window or door to be installed
   • Fittings, fixings and joining devices or materials are selected
   • Tools and equipment appropriate to the fixing method are identified
2. Prepare to fabricate and install
   • 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
   • Components of the lead light and stained glass window or door are checked against specifications or job order
3. Fabricate and install
   • Materials are cut to cutting list requirements
   • Components of lead light and stained glass window or door are assembled
   • Fittings are installed to window or door in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice
   • Window or door is installed
4. Finalise the installation
   • Installed window or door is inspected for quality of work and repaired, re-fabricated or re-installed 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 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 lead light and stained glass windows and doors construction terminology and techniques organisational and site standards requirements policies and procedures for fabrication and installation of lead light and stained glass windows and doors types of glass and other materials used in the lead light and stained glass industry their characteristics properties uses and limitations 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 lead light and stained glass windows and doors detailing their uses and limitations Identify and explain the properties of lead light and stained glass windows and doors Identify the likely impact of various environmental effects on lead light and stained glass windows and doors Fabricate and install residential lead light and stained glass window and residential lead light and stained glass door Comply with legislation regulations standards codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the fabrication and installation of lead light and stained glass windows and doors 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 fabricating and installing lead light and stained glass windows or doors 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
