Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify and plan work requirements
  • Work requirements in the form of type, pattern/plan and quantity of mirrors or glass splashbacks to be prepared and installed are identified from work instructions
  • Occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements for fabrication and installation of mirrors and glass splashbacks, including personal protective equipment, are observed throughout the work
  • Work sequence is planned in a logical order to suit the job and workplace procedures
  • Quantities of materials required are calculated from plans or work instructions or by measuring the installation site
  • Fixing and joining devices or materials are selected in accordance with specifications or type of materials to be joined and the surface on which the mirror or splashback is to be installed
  • Tools and equipment suitable to the work 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:

interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to process and install mirrors and glass splashbacks

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 mirror and glass splashback installations

cut mirror and glass up to 8 mm, including vinyl backed

carry out edge working

prepare walls for installation of mirrors and glass splashbacks

construct and fit mirrors and glass splashbacks, which may include frames

cut and drill holes in mirrors and glass splashbacks to cut-out specifications

identify and use spirit and/or laser levels

set plumb and level lines

fit framed and/or unframed, wall, safety and/or security mirrors, including return mirrors with minimal deflection

finish and fit glass splashbacks to specification

clean and present finished mirrors and/or glass splashbacks

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:

mirror and splashback specifications

mirrors

aluminium framing material

toughened glass for splashbacks

splashback finishing materials and equipment

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.

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, 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

using workplace technology related to the fabrication and installation of mirrors and glass splashbacks

applying different glass splashbacks finishes to specification

modifying activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Required knowledge includes:

workflow requirements in relation to the processing and installation of mirrors

workplace safety system requirements related to the processing and installation of mirrors and glass splashbacks

characteristics of materials used and uses of products produced

identification of equipment, processes and procedures related to the fabrication and installation of mirrors and glass splashbacks

relevant Australian Standards, including minimum proximity of glass splashbacks to gas cooking appliances
