Install minor structures

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to install minor non-track bearing structures and assemblies in rail industry contexts, in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes planning and preparing for installation, installing the structure in accordance with workplace requirements and cleaning up the site after installation.

People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil 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 in a team environment.

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.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
