Required knowledge includes: state or territory OHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for leadlight and stained glass operations leadlight and stained glass windows and doors construction terminology and techniques organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for fabrication and installation of leadlight and stained glass windows and doors types of glass and other materials used in the leadlight and stained glass industry, their characteristics, properties, uses and limitations environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material established communication channels and protocols problem identification and resolution in the leadlight and stained glass environment storage systems and labelling procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement |
Evidence Required
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: read and interpret work/job specifications identify a range of leadlight and stained glass windows and doors, detailing their uses and limitations identify and explain the properties of leadlight and stained glass windows and doors identify the likely impact of various environmental effects on leadlight and stained glass windows and doors fabricate and install residential leadlight and stained glass windows and doors comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the fabrication and installation of leadlight and stained glass windows and doors communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area. |
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: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to fabricating and installing leadlight and stained glass windows or doors specifications and work instructions. |
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 its 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. |
