This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to replace glass in commercial, structural and/or architectural engineered applications.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify work requirements
- 1.1 Work requirements in the form of type of glass, frames and the method of fixing are identified from work instructions
- 1.2 Occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements for fabrication and installation of commercial re-glazing, including personal protectiveequipment, are identified and observed throughout the work
- 1.3 The process for fabricating and installing commercial re-glazing is identified
2 Prepare for work
- 2.1 Work sequence is planned in a logical order to suit the job and workplace requirements
- 2.2 Tools, equipment and materials, other than glass and frames, are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition

- 2.4 Glass fixing method is selected to meet specifications
- 2.5 Glass is checked for type, size and imperfections
3 Identify site conditions and restraints
- 3.1 Site safety hazards are recognised and corrective action taken to reduce injury to self and others
- 3.2 Other on-site difficulties are recognised and corrective action taken in accordance with regulations and glazing requirements
- 3.3 Covering material is applied, where necessary, to protect existing fixtures and fittings
- 3.4 Special characteristics of the window or door which may affect the finished job are identified and corrective action taken
4 Prepare frame and materials
- 4.1 Frame condition (if applicable) is assessed to ensure suitability for re-glazing in accordance with customer requirements and Australian Standards
- 4.2 Defective frames are reported for repair or replacement in accordance with workplace procedures
- 4.3 Frame is prepared (if required) to receive glass
- 4.4 Fixing and sealing materials are prepared by mixing or cutting to length, as appropriate
5 Fit glass
- 5.1 Glass is fixed to the frame using the selected method and in accordance with recognised industry procedures and Australian Standards
- 5.2 Solvents and sealants are used in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and Australian Standards
- 5.3 Excess sealing material is removed and glass and frame cleaned after fixing

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 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 product quality
as a minimum:
safely remove glass from commercial and architectural frames
prepare frame and opening, including clean-up
measure glass for commercial projects, doors, show and/or food cabinets, including sliding tracks, shop fronts and returns, architectural, curtain wall, structural and/or overhead glazing
selecting glass to comply with AS 1288:2006 Glass in buildings - Selection and installation
cutting and processing glass in accordance with AS/NZS 4667:2000 Quality requirements for cut-to-size and processed glass
identify and work at heights and on scaffolding to the relevant regulations and standards
identify and apply glazing, structural sealants and tapes
calculate the cost of glass and labour
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:
frames
glass
fixing material
sealants
workplace operating procedures and work orders
personal protective equipment
an appropriate work area/site.
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.
