Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to manage train crewing and rostering
2. Train timetables/schedules and running times for each line or service are identified and kept updated within roster operations
3. Train running times/schedules are identified for each line or service to ensure all crewing requirements can be met
4. Procedures to identify set workings or work tasks to be performed are identified for train operations to be carried out
5. Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented
6. Potential operational problems and their impact on crewing needs are identified and contingency plans are developed
7. Establish crew resourcing framework
