Unit of Competency MSFGG4008 - Undertake planning and coordination for commercial glazing installation operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers planning and scheduling commercial glazing installation resources, coordinating on-site communications and work ensuring compliance with building codes and standards and glass product quality control. State and territory legislation should be checked for any required licensing or permits and a construction site supervisor’s safety certificate is essential.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must:

hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors

have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification

be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.

Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.

Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Access is required to commercial glass installation plans, contractual documentation and standards for commercial glass installation work, construction site access, glass installation plant, equipment and personnel.
