Allocate rolling stock

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


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

It includes identifying train consists and passenger and/or freight requirements, establishing available rolling stock, allocating rolling stock to trains, and monitoring and amending rolling stock allocation.

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 individually and skills are required to work within a team environment. It involves the application of regulatory requirements and operational principles and procedures when allocating rolling stock as part of work activities across a variety of operational workplace contexts within the Australian 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)

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

workplace procedures and policies for allocating rolling stock.

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 corridor 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, rail industry standards, codes of practice and operation manuals.
