Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify work requirements
  • Work requirements in the form of type of residential window or residential door to be fabricated and installed are identified from work instructions, including the identification of its pattern or plan
  • Occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements for fabrication and installation of windows and doors, including personal protective equipment, are observed throughout the work
  • The process for fabricating and installing windows and doors is identified
  • Types and quantities of materials, including glass required, are calculated from plans or work instructions or by measuring the fixture opening in accordance with Australian Standards and industry practice

  • Tools and equipment appropriate to the fixing method are 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:

plan the fabrication and installation of windows and doors

interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to fabricate and install windows and doors

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 product quality

as a minimum:

measure for the installation of windows and doors

work from product specification data sheets and/or specified software programs

identify and select product materials, including selection of mullions and transoms in relation to wind loading

fabricate frame and sash components from metal, timber or PVC, including cutting, tooling, routing, milling, drilling and/or crimping

identify, select and install component hardware, including weather seals, wheels, stays, hinges, guides and/or locks

apply the WERS

select and cut glass in accordance with AS 1288:2006 Glass in buildings - Selection and installation and AS/NZS 4667:2000 Quality requirements for cut-to-size and processed glass

assemble frames, including glass, gaskets, tapes, sealants, adhesives, fasteners, reveal linings and flashings in accordance with AS 2047:1999 Windows in buildings - Selection and installation (Section 6)

label frames in accordance with AS 2047:1999 Windows in buildings - Selection and installation (Section 8)

install residential windows and doors

calculate cost of residential windows and doors

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:

aluminium or steel framing material

timber framing material

PVC framing material

door or window glass

fittings and fixing/fasteners

workplace operating procedures

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.

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, and optimise glass sizes for economical cutting and assembling of required materials

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