Measure and record track geometry

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to measure and record track geometry in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes measuring and recording track geometry, and reporting results.

People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements and to comply with relevant codes of practice and/or guidelines.

Work is performed under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when measuring and recording track geometry, across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

Measure geometry

1.1

Equipment and tools appropriate to task are selected and checked for correct operation in accordance with manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures

1.2

Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented

1.3

Equipment is operated in accordance with manufacturer and work instructions to provide appropriate data for analysis

2

Record results

2.2

Documentation is completed in accordance with workplace procedures, as required

3

Process data

3.1

Data is compared to maintenance/construction tolerances in accordance with workplace procedures

3.2

Results are reported in accordance with workplace procedures

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

applying relevant workplace procedures

completing relevant documentation

identifying job hazards and taking required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards

implementing contingency plans

interpreting and following operational instructions

modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information, plans, drawings and specifications

reading recorded track geometry data

recording and reporting results accurately in accordance with workplace procedures

reporting and/or rectifying identified problems, in accordance with workplace procedures

using appropriate measurement tools to measure a range of geometry elements

working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

hazards that may exist when measuring and recording track geometry, and ways of controlling the risks involved

problems that may occur when measuring and recording track geometry, and action that can be taken to report or resolve these problems

relevant records procedures

relevant rail industry standards

relevant rail safety, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures and regulations

safeworking procedures

track geometry parameters including the horizontal and vertical alignment, cross-level and cant of the track

workplace procedures for measuring and recording track parameters.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations or, where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, rail industry standards, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
