Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to evaluate complex glass and glazing requirements, determine the codes of practice and standards that apply and integrate their requirements into work processes. These include relevant requirements of the National Construction Code and Australian Standards, including AS1288 and in particular, Section 6 Sloped overhead glazing, Section 7 Balustrades and Section 9 Framed, unframed and partly framed glass assemblies. (All Australian Standards cited in this unit and its assessment requirements are current at the time of publication. If these are revised, the superseding standards must be used.)This unit applies to experienced workers who interpret and use advanced technical information to develop solutions to potentially complex glass and glazing requirements. They commonly work independently and typically solve complex problems that require theoretical knowledge and experience about the specification, manufacture and installation of a wide range of glass and glazing products. Job roles commonly involve leadership and supervisorial responsibilities.At the time of this unit’s release, the work described in this unit does not require licensing or certification, but state or territory authorities should be consulted to determine the current status. Workers on construction sites are required by law to complete induction training. They must also comply with relevant legislation, Australian Standards, codes and manufacturers’ installation instructions.
