Description
This unit addresses the knowledge and skills required to assess and identify glass and glazing requirements for buildings to comply with Australian Standard 1288.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify work requirement
- 1.1. Customer requirements and expectations regarding glass and glazing work or technical advice are identified and confirmed through a process of liaison and consultation
- 1.2. Workplace health and safety requirements for process for assessing glass and glazing requirements, including personal protection needs, scaffolding and lifting equipment, are observed throughout the work
- 1.3. Requirements are recorded and confirmed according to workplace requirements
- 1.4. The process for assessing glass and glazing requirements is identified
2. Prepare for work
- 2.1. Work sequence is planned in a logical order to suit the job
- 2.2. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
- 2.3. Research materials are accessed and analysed for applicability
- 2.4. Site visit is conducted if possible to confirm requirements and to identify any restrictions or unforeseen hazards/considerations
- 2.5. Product sources are contacted to ascertain current state of art/developments if appropriate
3. Conduct assessment
- 3.1. Influencing factors are identified and their significance and impact on the end product determined
- 3.2. Specifications for the requirement are documented in accordance with workplace procedures
- 3.3. Products/types of glass are identified and their application determined
- 3.4. Technical or other professional advice is sought if applicable and available in accordance with workplace procedures
- 3.5. Possible solutions may be modelled or trialled in accordance with workplace procedures
- 3.6. Optimal solution is identified and specifications confirmed
4. Complete work
- 4.1. Solution is converted into work instructions/job orders in accordance with workplace procedures
- 4.2. Other documentation, including any advice/referral to customer, is completed in accordance with workplace practices
- 4.3. Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate
RANGE STATEMENT
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.
Unit context
OHS requirements may include legislation, standards, building codes, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures
Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements
Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the planning, setting up and freefalling of glass from a rack to a table
Work may be performed in workplaces which are involved in the manufacture, processing and/or installation of sheet glass
Work is generally performed individually and may be on a one-to-one basis with a customer/supervisor, with only limited supervision and may be part of a production process
Glass and glazing assessment
Glass and glazing assessment involves the assessment required for all glass and glazing tasks. It may be a formal and documented process or an informal on-the-job assessment of a situation/requirement.
Factors which may influence the assessment include:
residential and commercial applications
building height/limitations
wind loading considerations
regional boundaries/zones
terrain description/categories
human impact considerations
Tools and equipment may include:
tape measures
calculators
glass thickness and glazing material indicators
product data and samples
relevant standards/codes
stationery and calculator
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise practices and procedures. It may include:
gauntlets
gloves
safety glasses
hard hats
safety footwear
aprons and overalls
Information and procedures
Work procedures/instructions relating to assessment of glass and glazing requirements
Regulatory/legislative requirements, particularly those pertaining to building codes, OHS and environmental requirements
Manufacturer specifications and instructions, particularly those pertaining to new products/developments
Organisation work specifications and requirements
Authorised organisational or external personnel
Australian standards: AS1288, 2208, 1170.2, HB125

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.
Critical Aspects of Evidence
Interpret glass and glazing requirement and accurately determine solutions to meet work situations/customer queries
Identify and confirm requirements/customer expectations
Locate, interpret and apply information for situation to be assessed
As a minimum, demonstrate the ability to:
apply the requirements of AS1288 (requires an understanding of scope, definitions, abbreviations and symbols)
determine thickness limits for standard nominal thickness of glass
identify and calculate aspect ratios
identify regional boundaries, terrain categories and their description
determine minimum nominal glass thicknesses for various glazing situations using wind loading design charts and tables
identify types of safety glazing materials
determine the safety glazing materials for various glazing situations
determine safety glazing material thicknesses from flow charts
identify basic installation details for glazing
identify the design considerations and glazing techniques for toughened glass assemblies
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment
Resource Implications
Work requirements, workplace operating procedures, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area.
Method of Assessment
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.
Context of Assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a simulated workplace facility with relevant glass and glazing requirements, simulated work instructions and commitments.
