Prepare electric passenger train as part of guard duties

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required as part of guard duties to check and assess the operational capabilities of equipment when preparing an electric passenger train prior to entering service.

It includes preparing for checks; inspecting, starting and testing equipment; checking equipment; carrying out visual checks and reporting the results of inspection and testing in accordance with workplace procedures and relevant regulatory requirements.

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 and workplace requirements.

Preparing an electric passenger train will ensure equipment:

is free from damage, leaks and obstructions that may prejudice safety or limit operational capability

operates within prescribed limits.

Safety checks and equipment tests are performed without supervision.

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.

		4.2	Accurate records are kept in accordance with workplace requirements
		4.3	Potential defects that may affect future safety of equipment are recorded and/or reported

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:

checking and testing train equipment is free from damage, leaks and obstructions that may prejudice safety or limit operational capability, in accordance with workplace requirements

communicating effectively with others

completing relevant documentation

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

identifying typical faults/defects that may occur on electric passenger trains

implementing contingency plans

inspecting the interior of an electric passenger train visually

interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work

modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

monitoring and completing activities in terms of planned schedule

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

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information, labels and signs

reporting, recording 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:

equipment characteristics, capabilities and limitations

housekeeping procedures

operational safety requirements when preparing an electric passenger train for service

problems that may occur when preparing an electric passenger train for service and appropriate action that can be taken to resolve these problems

workplace procedures for checking and assessing operational capability of equipment when preparing an electric passenger train for service.

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 rail 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, codes of practice and operation manuals.
