Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for work
  • Work requirements from work instructions are determined
  • Occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relevant to operating glass laminating equipment, including personal protective equipment, are observed throughout the work
  • Work sequence is planned in a logical order to suit the job and workplace procedures
  • Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for the work, of the required quality, serviceable and in a safe condition
  • Machines, cutting tools and jigs are identified and checked for safe and effective operation, including emergency stops, gauges, guards and controls
  • Procedures for checking the quality of materials and items produced, rating system compliance, working condition of equipment and quality requirements for each stage of the laminating process are identified
  • Communication with others involved with the work is established and maintained to ensure efficient workflow coordination, personnel cooperation and safety throughout the work
       


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 work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information, including relevant glass and window rating systems to operate glass laminating equipment

plan the conduct of glass laminating operations

set up, operate, monitor and perform operator maintenance of glass laminating equipment

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:

identify and demonstrate glass flopping and washing operation and procedures

identify and demonstrate the white room operation and procedures

safely load glass into the pre-press oven and stacker

operate the pre-press oven and stacker during the glass laminating process

operate an air lifter

operate an autoclave

safely complete the requirements of the packing area

operate a laminating cutting table

carry out post-laminating procedures

perform testing, classification and marking of toughened glass in accordance with AS/NZS 2208:1996 Safety glazing materials in buildings

work effectively with others.

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:

glass laminating equipment

workplace operating procedures

unprocessed materials

personal protective equipment

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 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 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 equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

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 handling and processing, and assemble required materials

using pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, and avoid re-working and wastage

using the workplace technology related to the operation of glass laminating equipment

modifying activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Required knowledge includes:

procedures for the set-up, operation and operator maintenance of glass laminating equipment

glass and window rating systems for noise, fade control and security applications

workflow requirements relating to the operation of glass laminating equipment

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.
