Develop rail signalling system maintenance programs

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to develop rail signalling system maintenance programs for rail signalling equipment and infrastructure.

It includes preparing and developing rail signalling maintenance programs, including identifying tasks and work responsibilities, and reporting requirements.

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 two separate occasions and include:

interpreting specifications correctly

checking that technical/operational specifications are met and that equipment is in compliance with work orders

ensuring safe train movement through work area

following relevant codes of practice, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and 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 WHS/OHS requirements, including:

implementing workplace procedures and practices

using risk control measures

developing rail signalling equipment and infrastructure maintenance programs, including:

finalising rail signalling maintenance program, roster and schedule 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 and include knowledge of:

rail signalling maintenance program development, safe working practices and relevant standards, codes and regulations, including:

maintenance principles encompassing:

maintenance function

role of maintenance department

WHS/OHS requirements

maintenance systems encompassing:

maintenance terminology

preventative maintenance

predictive maintenance

corrective maintenance

data acquisition encompassing:

plant history cards/files

inspection techniques

predictive maintenance

remote visual inspection

non-destructive testing

thermography

vibration analysis

oil analysis

rail signalling maintenance plan development encompassing:

characteristics of rail signalling operation

assessment of failure characteristics

link failure characteristics to maintenance systems

identification of maintenance windows

resources

labour

materials

establish plan

implementation procedures and records

plan review

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant manufacturer specifications

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

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies and procedures.

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 and equipment currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to developing rail signalling maintenance programs

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.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
