UEERS0002
Decommission electrical and electromechanical rail signalling from service

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to decommission electrical and electromechanical rail signalling from service on rail networks.

It includes preparing to withdraw electrical and electromechanical rail signalling from service. It also includes completing disconnection of operating and redundant circuitry, equipment and components; testing of remaining circuitry and equipment; finding and repairing faults; testing of control and indicating equipment; and reporting.

Persons achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements and comply with relevant codes of practice, rules and/or guidelines.

No other 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.

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 one occasion and include:

reading and interpreting specifications correctly

disconnecting signalling circuits, equipment and components to meet operational and technical standards

using effective fault diagnosis and repair/replacement techniques to specified model level

confirming circuits, equipment and components operated within specified technical parameters

testing equipment and instruments

using tools correctly

following relevant codes of practice, environmental protection procedures and requirements

completing relevant technical reports, records and documentation

dealing with unplanned events

applying rail safe working practices and relevant industry standards, codes and rail safety regulations

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including:

implementing workplace procedures and practices

using risk control measures

applying sustainable energy principles and practices

decommissioning electrical and electromechanical rail signalling from service in accordance with workplace procedures

preparing to decommission electrical and electromechanical rail signalling from service

withdrawing electrical and electromechanical rail signalling from service.

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:

electrical and electromechanical rail signalling decommissioning, safe working practices and relevant standards, codes and regulations, including:

purpose of decommissioning

decommissioning planning and documentation

decommissioning requirements and hazards

decommissioning procedures

fault diagnosis and repair/replacement techniques

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant safe working practices, industry standards, codes of practice, regulations and WHS/OHS legislated requirements, including decommissioning requirements and hazards

relevant workplace documentation.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable rail workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in suitable rail simulated workplace operational situations that replicate 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 must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to decommissioning electrical and electromechanical signalling from service

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
