Carry out off-site repair, overhaul and assembly of mechanical signalling equipment

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to carry out off-site repair, overhaul and assembly of mechanical signalling equipment in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes assessing equipment condition, replacing out-of-specification components, producing components as required, assembling components, and testing and adjusting equipment to ensure overall system integrity.

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 to the off-site repair, overhaul and assembly of mechanical 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)
