Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSFGG4001 Apply standards and codes of practice for the glass industry.
Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to evaluate potentially complex glass and glazing requirements, determine codes and standards that must be applied and integrate those requirements into work processes.
This unit applies to experienced workers who interpret and use potentially complex technical information to develop glass and glazing work solutions. They may work in the manufacture, processing and/or installation of glass components. Job roles often involve leadership responsibilities.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
Pre-requisite Unit
