Assist with testing train braking system on electric passenger train

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assist with testing the train braking system on electric passenger trains in accordance with workplace procedures and the requirements of relevant safeworking regulations and codes of practice.

It includes preparing for train brake inspection and testing, inspecting and testing train brake operation, dealing with identified faults, and reporting and/or recording brake test results in accordance with workplace requirements.

People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety and safeworking 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 operational principles, regulations, safeworking codes, protocols and procedures when testing a train braking system, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail industry.

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.

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 two occasions and include:

applying rail safety practices, rail industry standards, rules, codes of practice and guidelines

assessing brake system defects

completing relevant documentation

identifying correct procedures to be followed in a failed brake test

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

implementing contingency plans

interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work

modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule

operating and adapting to differences in brakes and related equipment in accordance with operating procedures

performing all types of applicable brake tests in accordance with workplace procedures

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information and signs

reporting and/or rectifying identified problems, faults or malfunctions promptly, in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures

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:

brake systems, their components and their operation

diagnostic techniques for electric passenger train braking systems

different types of electric passenger train braking systems failures/defects that could occur

documentation requirements relating to brake testing

emergency procedures

relevant sections of applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements, rail industry standards, codes of practice and/or guidelines

relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures and regulations including codes of practice

types of brake tests and their purpose.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessments must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Practical assessments must occur in an appropriate range of situations in the rail workplace.

A simulator assessment is not suitable for the final assessment of this unit of competency

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 must include assess to:

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

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

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

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
