TLIS3029
Implement structures maintenance and installation of minor structures

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement structures maintenance and installation of minor structures in accordance with approved standards, safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes planning work, implementing maintenance activities, dealing with maintenance and construction problems, and completing required documentation.

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 minimal supervision, generally in a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when implementing structures maintenance and installing minor structures, 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)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements describe the essential outcomes.		Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1	Plan work	1.1	Scope of work is confirmed
		1.2	Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented
		1.3	Operational constraints are identified
		1.4	Information requirements are identified and accessed
		1.5	Method of work is selected and general operating sequence is determined
		1.6	Resources required for the work are arranged
2	Implement maintenance and construction activities	2.1	Competent personnel are allocated tasks in accordance with the work sequence
		2.2	Tasks are assessed as being in accordance with the predetermined sequence and appropriate for the work
		2.3	Work procedures are monitored and evaluated as being appropriate and in accordance with standards and procedures
		2.4	Human and other resources are assessed as being adequate for the work
3	Deal with maintenance and construction problems	3.1	Causes and effects of system faults and failures in the worksite are diagnosed
		3.2	Impact of work on structure integrity is assessed
		3.3	Impact of work on track system integrity is assessed
		3.4	Appropriate action is taken to ensure structure and track system integrity
		3.5	Scope of work is modified to include related tasks and/or interfaces
		3.6	Related faults and/or failures beyond the authorised scope of work are reported
4	Complete documentation	4.1	Required documentation procedures and processes are confirmed
		4.2	Documentation is filled in legibly and proofread
		4.3	Documentation is processed in accordance with workplace requirements

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least five separate occasions and include:

applying relevant workplace procedures

assessing impact of work on structure integrity and on track system integrity

communicating effectively with others

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

implementing contingency plans

implementing structure maintenance and installation of minor structures in accordance with rail industry standards, safeworking system and workplace procedures

implementing, monitoring and evaluating maintenance activities

interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work

modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

monitoring, sequencing and implementing work activities in terms of planned schedule and appropriateness, in conformance with standards and procedures

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

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information, technical data, standards and drawings

reporting and rectifying within limits of own role, problems, faults and malfunctions, in accordance with workplace procedures

selecting appropriate equipment

selecting appropriate safe work method for implementing structures maintenance and installing minor structures

working collaboratively with others

working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment.

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:

documentation and record keeping requirements

fundamentals of rail infrastructure relevant to implementing structures maintenance and installing minor structures

hazards that may exist when undertaking structure maintenance and minor construction, and ways of controlling the risks involved

problems that may occur when undertaking structure maintenance and minor construction, and action that can be taken to report or resolve these problems

range of competencies required to carry out structure maintenance and construction

range of structure maintenance and construction techniques and work processes

relevant rail industry standards, specifications and codes of practice

relevant rail danger zones

relevant safety, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures and regulations

structure defects and action that can be taken to report or resolve them

structure infrastructure and the interaction of all interfaces.

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

exercises able to demonstrate competent performance in implementing five activities as listed below.

Competence must be assessed in 2 designated activities, plus 1 specified activity, plus 2 remaining activities:

designated activities (2):

installing transoms

installing minor structures

specified activities (any 1):

repairing concrete/masonry structures

repairing timber structures

repairing steel structures

remaining activities (any 2):

maintaining bridge bearings

carrying out routine maintenance of structures

installing temporary track support

mixing and applying chemical repair products.
