Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify autonomous rail traffic systems faults, defects and deficiencies
   • Autonomous rail traffic location and possible fault cause are determined
2. Hazards are identified, risks assessed and control measures implemented
3. Operational capability of autonomous rail traffic equipment is evaluated
4. Autonomous rail traffic and equipment are made safe for inspection
5. Faulty or damaged components or equipment are identified, visually inspected and assessed
6. Impact of faults on autonomous rail traffic is identified and safe operating capabilities are evaluated
7. Rectify autonomous rail traffic systems minor faults
   • Minor repairs and/or isolations are carried out in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
8. Equipment, tools and required materials are operated, applied and handled in accordance with work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and manufacturer specifications to prevent injury and damage
9. Factors that impact on safe rail traffic operations are continuously monitored
10. Situational awareness is applied through effective visual scans, use of communication systems, use of rail traffic information and use of systems of safeworking in accordance with workplace procedures
11. Check and report autonomous rail traffic minor repairs, rectification or isolation
    • Minor repairs and/or isolations are checked for safety compliance
12. Equipment is checked to ensure it conforms to manufacturer specifications and required standards
13. Action taken is reported/recorded in accordance with workplace procedures
14. Autonomous rail traffic systems capabilities are monitored and continually evaluated
