TLIB3046
Service and clean mechanical signalling equipment and infrastructure

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to service and clean mechanical signalling equipment and infrastructure, in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace standards and procedures.

It includes cleaning and servicing the equipment/infrastructure, and checking/testing the operation and functionality of the equipment/infrastructure after cleaning.

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, rail industry standards 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 servicing and cleaning mechanical infrastructure signalling equipment, as part of workplace activities 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)
