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.
Repair methods may include:
re-leading
strap repair and lead lifting
restoration and conservation of historically important stained glass and leadlighting works
OHS requirements cover:
material handling
work processing
workspace and ventilation considerations
material disposal processes
Personal protective equipment includes:
that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise practices and procedures, and may include:
glass handling gloves
safety glasses
Workplace procedures include:
workplace procedures relating to constructing/repairing leadlight panels
workplace procedures relating to the handling and movement of glass and glass panels
equipment manufacturer specifications and operational procedures
work instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, patterns, templates, drawings and/or designs
safety standards, including personal protective equipment, OHS regulations and enterprise requirements
quality and Australian Standards and procedures
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
Leadlight construction materials may include, but are not limited to:
coloured/plain glass panels
patterns/templates
timber lathes
ornamental fittings
lead came
solder and fluxes

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 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
conduct appropriate research to determine if a leadlight panel is historically important and determine appropriate restoration and conservation requirements and techniques
restore and conserve historically important works
as a minimum:
construct leadlight panels
measure openings for leadlight panels
design, including construction of cartoon 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
re-glaze repaired leadlight panel
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:
appropriate leadlighting materials
work area
work order
specifications
tools
personal protective equipment
equipment and consumables.
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.
