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

Plan the handling, relocation and storing of glass

Interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to relocate and store glass

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, select and use personal safety apparel

identify equipment for the handling and storage of glass

calculate the weight of glass

handle annealed and laminated glass up to and including 1.2 m2 (17 kg)

team handle annealed and laminated glass up to and including 4.5 m2 (68 kg)

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

safely load and secure glass

relocate blocks and end caps of glass sheets by grabs, slings and chains up to 2t

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Glass to be stored, workplace operating procedures, personal protective equipment, an appropriate work area and others to assist as required.

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 handling equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.


Submission Requirements

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 skills

collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans, and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate work requirements, optimise glass sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the operation of handling, relocating and storing glass

Required knowledge

the qualities and characteristics of glass, including the hazards and handling requirements

workflow in relation to the movement and storage of glass

glass storage requirements

identification of equipment, processes and procedures

workplace safety system requirements related to the handling, relocation and storage of glass

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

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the planning and conduct of the operation. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment

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

OHS requirements may include legislation, standards, building codes, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures

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

Storing and handling glass

The storage and handling of glass is a necessary function of all workplaces working in the manufacture, processing and/or installation of sheet glass or glass products. It involves the handling, moving and storing of glass in quantities appropriate to the workplace requirement and may involve team lifting as well as the application of individual skills.

Glass

Glass may be annealed, laminated, toughened, patterned, tinted and heat reflecting. It includes:

domestic and commercial glass

mirrors

shower screens

furniture glass

safety glass

patterned or specialty glass

Tools and equipment are to include:

hand trolleys

pallet truck

gantry crane

scissor

sling and jumbo grabs

Personal protective equipment

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

gloves

safety glasses

hard hats

safety footwear

aprons and overalls

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the handling and movement of glass

Work instructions, delivery dockets, job sheets and plans

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

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

Quality standards include AS4667 Quality requirements for cut to size and processed glass

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.
