Elements and Performance Criteria

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 requirements include:
compliance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements relating to the handing and movement of glass
work instructions, including job sheets and plans
safety standards, including personal protective equipment, OHS regulations and enterprise requirements
Personal protective equipmentincludes:
that prescribed under legislation, regulation and enterprise policies and practices, and may include:
gauntlets
gloves
safety glasses
hard hats
safety footwear
aprons and overalls
Sheet glass may include, but is not limited to:
glass for residential and commercial windows and doors
tinted and heat reflecting
mirrors and furniture applications
annealed or laminated glass
Tools and equipment are to include:
glass handling equipment and hand tools
lever and pump vacuum lifters
slings and trolleys
Team lifting process may include:
nomination of team leader
calculation of capacity of team
techniques to be used
identifying tasks of team members
Glass relocation may include:
loading and unloading of trucks and skips

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 instructions correctly and locate and apply relevant information to plan the relocation of glass by hand
apply safe handling requirements for moving glass by hand, including use of personal protective equipment
plan the movement of the glass sheets safely and effectively
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 safety and inspection procedures prior to lifting
safely lift and relocate annealed and laminated glass up to, and including, 1.2 m2 (17 kg)
safely team lift and relocate annealed and laminated glass up to, and including, 4.5 m2 (68 kg)
load and unload glass safely and efficiently
work effectively with others
modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment.
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:
glass sheet to be relocated
workplace operating procedures and personal protection equipment
an appropriate work area.
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.
