This unit contains employability skills. |
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
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. | |
Interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to conduct commercial and structural reglazing 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 glass, frames, equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality To complete a minimum of: safely remove broken glass from commercial and architectural frames prepare frame and opening including cleanup and/or frame repair measure glass for commercial windows, doors, show and food cabinets including sliding tracks, shop fronts and returns, architectural, curtain wall, structural and overhead glazing select glass to comply with AS1288 cut and process glass in accordance with AS4667 identify and work with ladders and scaffolding to the relevant regulations and standards identify and apply glazing, structural sealants and tapes install and weatherproof glazing materials calculate the cost of glass and labour Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment | |
Frames, glass, fixing material, sealants, workplace operating procedures and work orders, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area/site. | |
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts. Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency. | |
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. | |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the handling and installation of glass products Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements OHS requirements may include legislation, standards, building codes, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures | |
