Establish and operate braking system on medium_heavy self-propelled on-track equipment

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit is intended for those persons who will drive medium/heavy self-propelled on-track equipment to ensure the braking system is suitable for operation prior to the on-track equipment being driven and to identify any faults when in transit. Depending on the type of test being used this activity may require the assistance of a second person.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to establish, test and operate the braking system on a medium/heavy self-propelled on-track maintenance vehicle and dealing with brake system faults and failures.

Medium or heavy on-track equipment generally weighs more than 10 tonnes and is permanently railed.

Licensing, regulatory or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit.

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

other relevant aspects of the range statement

Assessment must include exercises which demonstrate competent performance of the following in a range of situations:

identify correct procedure for testing braking system

correctly conduct brake test

operate brake when driving on-track vehicle

identify possible brake faults that may occur

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

Method of assessment

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests

Practical assessment must occur on a track maintenance vehicle:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
