Elements and Performance Criteria

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
Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the construction/repair of leadlight panels
Work involves measuring, design and selection of materials and tools, and assembly, weatherproofing and polishing of leadlight panels
Work involves removal, disassembling, selection of replacement materials, and assembly, weatherproofing, polishing and glazing of repaired leadlight panels
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
Work is generally performed individually, with general supervision and may be part of a production process
Repair methods may include:
releading
Dutchman's repair and lead lifting
Tools and equipment may include:
timber benches
light boxes
glass grinders
lead knives
lead vice
lathekins
farrier's nails
glass cutters
grozing and small running pliers
soldering irons and bits
suede
cleaning and polishing brushers and pickers
Materials are to include but are not limited to:
coloured/plain glass panels
patterns/templates
timber lathes
ornamental fittings
lead came
solder and fluxes
Occupational Health and Safety
OHS requirements may address:
material handling
work processing
work space and ventilation considerations
material disposal processes
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise practices and procedures. It may include:
glass handling gloves
safety glasses
Information and procedures
Workplace procedures relating to constructing/repairing leadlight panels
Workplace procedures relating to the handling and movement of glass and glass panels
Equipment manufacturers' specifications and operational procedures
Work instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, patterns, templates, drawings and/or designs
Safety standards include personal protective equipment, OHS regulations and enterprise requirements
Quality and Australian Standards and procedures

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 work order/job instruction to identify requirements and plan the process to construct/repair leadlight panels
Select and use appropriate materials and processes for the panel being constructed/repaired
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 goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
As a minimum, demonstrate the ability to:
construct leadlight panels
measure openings for leadlight panels
design, including construction of cartoon
construct templates
identify and select materials, including glass and lead came
cut basic and complex shapes in clear, patterned and coloured glass
lead up, flux and solder
weatherproof, cement, pick and polish
glaze, including putty facing and beading up
may include reinforcement bar installation
Repair leadlight panels:
remove leadlight from opening to be repaired
construct templates, cartoons and rubbings
identify and select replacement materials
disassemble lead and broken glass panels
cut glass to suit
lead up, weatherproof, cement, pick and polish
reglaze repaired leadlight panel
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications
Appropriate leadlighting materials, work area, work order, specifications, tools, personal protective equipment, equipment and consumables.

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 workplace simulated facility with relevant leadlight construction/repair equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
