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 instructions may include:
material to be used for application of design or pattern
pattern or plan to be followed
process required to complete work tasks
items to which pattern or design is to be applied
holding area for completed items
the material curing time (if required) for the type of material used and type of glass
Patterns and designs may be:
applied to glass surfaces by chemical etching, sandblasting or screen printing
Personal protective equipment includes:
that prescribed under legislation, regulation and enterprise policies and practices, and may include:
gauntlets
gloves
safety glasses
hard hats
safety footwear
aprons and overalls
Tools and equipment may include:
sandblasting equipment
masking materials
templates
etching chemicals and screen printing equipment
Workplace procedures include:
equipment manufacturer specifications and operational procedures
safety standards, including personal protective equipment, OHS regulations and enterprise requirements
materials safety data sheets (MSDS)
workplace procedures relating to the application of patterns or designs to glass
work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs
Materials are to include, but are not limited to:
annealed glass
laminated glass
toughened glass and mirrors

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 apply patterns and/or designs to glass surfaces
prepare to apply patterns and designs to glass surfaces
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:
draw and cut freehand designs
set up, process, upload and cut designs from computerised software programs
stage sandblasting on glass
stage screen printing on glass
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:
template materials/patterns
masking materials
application equipment
workplace operating procedures
unprocessed glass
personal protective 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.
