Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify work requirements
  • Customer requirements and expectations regarding glass and glazing work or technical advice are identified and confirmed through a process of liaison and consultation
  • Occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements for assessing glass and glazing requirements are observed throughout the work
  • Requirements are recorded using appropriate tools and equipment and confirmed according to workplace procedures and requirements
  • The process for assessing glass and glazing requirements is identified
       


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.

Overview of assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

interpret glass and glazing requirements and accurately determine solutions to meet work situations/customer queries

identify and confirm requirements/customer expectations

locate, interpret and apply information for situation to be assessed

as a minimum:

apply the requirements of AS 1288:2006 Glass in buildings - Selection and installation (requires an understanding of scope, definitions, abbreviations and symbols)

determine thickness limits for standard nominal thickness of glass

identify and calculate aspect ratios

determine minimum nominal glass thicknesses for various glazing situations affected by human impact

identify types of safety glazing materials

determine the safety glazing materials for various glazing situations

identify basic installation details for glazing

identify the design considerations and glazing techniques for sill supported toughened glass assemblies.

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 off-site context.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standard requirements.

The following resources should be made available:

work requirements

workplace operating procedures

an appropriate work area.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF02 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 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.

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 include:

collecting, organising and understanding information related to glass and glazing, work orders, basic plans and safety procedures

using communication skills to the level required to confirm work requirements and specifications; communicate effectively regarding work requirements with supervisors, other workers and customers; report work outcomes and problems; and to relate to people from a range of social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and of varying physical and mental abilities

using literacy skills to the level required to understand information related to work orders, including common industry terminology, plans and safety procedures; prepare reports; and interpret technical information and specifications

planning and organising activities, including the preparation and layout of the work area, and the obtaining of information and reference materials to facilitate assessment, avoid workflow interruptions and assist efficacy of solutions

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

using mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate work requirements, optimise glass sizes for application and assembly of required resources

using workplace technology related to the assessment of glass and glazing requirements

modifying activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment

Required knowledge includes:

workplace operating procedures and AS 1288:2006 Glass in buildings - Selection and installation

the qualities and characteristics of glass, including types, qualities, applications and limitations

products and processes and current trends and developments in glass and glazing techniques/applications

workflow and operating requirements of work systems in own work area

workplace safety system requirements related to the handling and installation 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.

Glass and glazing assessment includes:

the assessment required for all glass and glazing tasks. It may be a formal and documented process or an informal on-the-job assessment of a situation/requirement

compliance with:

AS 1288 Glass and glazing in buildings - Selection and installation
