Performance Evidence

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:

applying track and road knowledge when driving a monorail train communicating effectively with Network Control Officer completing relevant documentation identifying and assessing train defects and deficiencies, and taking appropriate action to report identified defective equipment in accordance with workplace procedures identifying job hazards and taking required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards implementing contingency plans interpreting and following instructions reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information and signs recognising problems that may arise and taking appropriate action working collaboratively with others.
