Install and replace transoms

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to install and replace transoms on underbridges in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes preparing for work, installing/replacing transoms and completing documentation.

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 under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment.

It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when installing or replacing transoms, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational 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)
