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 with semi-automatic or automatic machines

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

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:

process and upload computerized cutting data from optimisation software programs

load and position stock sheets onto semi-automatic and automatic cutting tables

perform pre-cutting tool and machinery checks

cut given dimensions from stock sheets with minimal wastage/off-cuts

cut shapes from optimisation data

remove, pack and store cut glass including labelling for despatch

calculate the cost of glass and edgework

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Semi-automatic, automatic or computerised glass processing equipment, optimisation software programs, work area, standard operating procedures, work orders, unprocessed materials 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 process equipment, 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.

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 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 area and weight, estimate glass requirements and minimise waste

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate processing problems, avoid re-working and wastage
