Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to install and maintain all types of temporary and permanent bonds and bonding cables in use in the Australian rail system, in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.
This includes planning the installation and maintenance, preparing the worksite, installing and maintaining the bonds and bonding cables, and conducting all required post-installation activities as a non-electrical rail safety worker.
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, rail industry standards and/or guidelines.
Work is performed under some supervision, generally within a team environment.
Rail bonding systems involve the application of routine operational principles and procedures when fixing cable across a break or joint in one rail, or between two rails to provide a path for traction return current or track-circuits, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system.
Operators of mechanised equipment must have undertaken training and, where appropriate, hold the relevant licence, permit or certificate and be recognised as competent for the class of machinery being used.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
