Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify protection requirements
   • Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to leadlight and stained glass operations are verified and complied with
   • The process for achieving protection of stained glass and leadlighting is identified
   • Types and quantities of materials required for the protection of stained glass and leadlighting are identified from plans or work instructions
2. Prepare to protect stained glass and leadlighting
   • 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 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 protection process
   • Protected glass is inspected for quality of work and repaired, as required
   • Waste and scrap material are removed for disposal or recycling, as required
   • Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate
   • Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned, removed and stored appropriately
   • Workplace records are maintained according to workplace procedures
