Stable a heritage motive power unit

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to stable a motive power unit in accordance with relevant workplace procedures, rail regulations and codes of practice.

It includes determining the required stabling location, shunting and securing a motive power unit, carrying out all required post-operational checks and completing postoperational paperwork.

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 some supervision, generally within a team environment.

It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when stabling and securing a motive power unit across a variety of operational contexts in the Australian heritage 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)
