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 orders and plan processing operations

Identify the materials, patterns/plans, processes, machines, equipment and settings to undertake a glass cutting, drilling, shaping and/or edging task by basic machines

Apply safe handling requirements for machines, equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Apply AS4667 Quality requirements for cut to size and processed glass

Set up for and prepare to process glass

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 and use AS4667 Quality requirements for cut-to-size and processed glass

complete straight cuts, simple shapes, truncated and radius corners, circles, fan holes, pay holes and ovals in glass up to 6 mm annealed and 6.38 mm laminated glass up to 1.0 m 2

cut 6 mm annealed and 6.38 mm laminated glass using a diamond saw

arris, grind and polish flat, round and mitre edges on 6 mm annealed and 6.38 mm laminated glass up to 0.5 m 2

drill holes with tungsten and diamond drill bits in 6 mm annealed and 6.38 mm laminated glass up to 0.5 m 2

calculate the cost of glass and edgework

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Glass sheet/product, processing facilities/equipment (such as basic cutting and edging machines), table, work area, work orders and appropriate safety and personal protection equipment.

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 glass processing machines, materials, 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.
