Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for task
  • Work requirements in the form of type and quantity of glass to be relocated are identified from work instructions
  • Workplace health and safety requirements for movement of glass sheets by mechanical means, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
  • Glass sheets to be moved are identified and weight is estimated or calculated
  • Appropriate mechanical handling equipment is identified
  • Risks to self, others, material and equipment are identified arising from the required lifting, load carrying, set down or movement of the glass
  • Equipment and controls including emergency stops and guards are identified and checked for safe operation
  • Damaged or worn parts are reported to appropriate personnel
  • Glass is checked for imperfections and damage prior to movement
       
Element: Plan glass movement
  • Locations for glass storage are identified and routes to be followed determined
  • Required clearances are compared to available space and adjustments made
  • Process for relocating glass is planned including predicting and planning for potential difficulties
  • Proposed process is checked against advisory standards and workplace procedures for compliance
       
Element: Relocate glass
  • Equipment is operated in accordance with approved advisory standards, manufacturers' instructions, workplace procedures and OH&S requirements
  • Planned process and route are followed
  • Glass is relocated without damage to material, personnel or equipment
  • Glass is labelled and stored following workplace procedures ensuring there are no projections
  • Relocation is checked to see that it meets work requirements, with any differences reported
       
Element: Complete work
  • Waste and scrap material is removed for disposal or recycling as required
  • Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate
  • Workplace documentation is completed as required
  • Handling equipment is cleaned, maintained and stored according to workplace procedures
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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 order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to plan the relocation of glass using mechanical means

Select and use appropriate equipment and techniques to relocate glass sheets

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

As a minimum, demonstrate the ability to:

identify personal protective safety apparel and safety regulations for overhead lifting

identify and safely use gantry cranes up to 4.9 safe working load (SWL), including relevant standards and regulations

identify and use scissor grabs and vacuum rigs for lifting single glass sheets

follow pre safety and inspection procedures

calculate the weight, safely load and secure glass

relocate single sheets of glass by vacuum and scissor grabs up to 4.5 m2 (170 kg)

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Mechanical glass handling equipment, glass sheet to be relocated, workplace operating procedures and personal protection equipment and an appropriate work area.

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 mechanical equipment, glass sheets, work instructions and deadlines.


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required knowledge

the qualities and characteristics of glass, including the hazards and handling requirements and the behaviour of glass sheets when lifted and moved

workflow in relation to the movement of glass by mechanical means

the principles, requirements and techniques of moving glass sheets by mechanical means

workplace safety system requirements related to the moving of glass sheets by mechanical means

capabilities, operating processes and procedures of mechanical handling equipment

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.

Unit context

This unit covers work involving the movement of glass sheets by mechanical means

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the planning and conduct of the operation.

Work is generally performed individually, with general supervision and may be part of a production process

Work may be performed in workplaces which are involved in the manufacture, processing and/or installation of sheet glass

Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements

Glass may include, but is not limited to:

annealed

laminated

toughened

tinted

heat reflecting and mirrors

Mechanical handling equipment is to include but is not limited to:

gantry cranes up to 4.9swl

scissor and vacuum grabs

Tools and equipment are to include:

air and tilt tables

A-frames and stillage racks

Materials are to include but are not limited to:

annealed and laminated glass

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is that prescribed under legislation, regulation and enterprise policies and practices. It may include:

gauntlets

gloves

safety glasses

hard hats

safety footwear

aprons and overalls

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the handing and movement of glass

Work instructions, including job sheets and plans

Equipment manufacturer instructions

Safety standards including personal protective equipment, OHS regulations and enterprise requirements

Manufacturer instructions for the use of equipment and materials

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
