This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement and coordinate systems of safeworking rules and regulations for network control activities.

It includes implementing safeworking rules and regulations; applying and managing safeworking protocols and communications; and taking appropriate action in safety incidents, unsafe situations or emergencies.

Work is performed using established operational procedures, with accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes with terminology as defined by the applicable Rail Infrastructure Manager safeworking system.

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.

It covers the activities required by network control officers in the operation of safeworking procedures within their area of control.

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)
