Allocate motive power

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to allocate motive power in accordance with workplace procedures and the requirements of relevant safeworking regulations and codes of practice.

It includes identifying train operating requirements, establishing motive power requirements and availability, allocating individual motive power units, and adjusting motive power allocation in accordance with workplace 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.

While work is performed individually, it will generally be undertaken within a team environment.

It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures to allocate motive power across a variety of operational contexts in the Australian rail systems.

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)

adjusting motive power allocation

applying relevant safeworking system and workplace procedures

communicating and negotiating effectively with others

completing relevant documentation

establishing motive power requirements and availability, and allocating individual motive power units

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

identifying train operating requirements

implementing contingency plans

interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work

modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule

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

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures and information

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:

allocation and maintenance schedules for motive power units

applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements, relevant codes of practice and/or guidelines

communication and negotiation requirements when allocating motive power

crew requirements and working patterns

documentation and record requirements

emergency management procedures

equipment and materials used when allocating motive power, and procedures that should be followed in their use

gauges, distance, gradients and tonnages for relevant track area

motive power units and specifications, capabilities and capacity

problems that may occur when allocating motive power and appropriate action that can be taken to resolve these problems

relevant WHS/OHS and environmental procedures and regulations, including codes of practice

timetables and train details

track specifications and limitations

workplace procedures and policies for allocating motive power.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within 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 must include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and PPE currently used in industry

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, regulations, rail industry standards, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions can be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
