Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to install/maintain active level crossing equipment
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified and applied
2. Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks are assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures implemented in preparation for work
3. Scope of installation/maintenance is determined from maintenance schedules, job specifications, drawings and regulatory requirements
4. Appropriate rail safe working person/s is consulted to ensure work is coordinated effectively with others to minimise rail traffic disruption
5. Materials needed for the installation/maintenance work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked against job specifications
6. Tools, equipment and testing devices needed for installation/maintenance work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
7. Install/maintain active level crossing equipment
   • WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out work are followed
8. Equipment function is determined from relevant technical manuals and operating instructions to identify accessible operating requirements

17. Equipment is inspected, tested and adjusted using appropriate test equipment and workplace procedures to ensure it operates within the specified technical standards
18. Level crossing lamp alignments are carried out as part of testing and adjusting workplace procedures, as required
19. Complete active level crossing equipment installation/maintenance
    • WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed
20. Equipment is taken out of service/brought back into use, as required, and documentation is completed in accordance with workplace procedures
21. Work records and documentation are completed to ensure accurate maintenance records are maintained
22. Worksite/equipment is reinstated in accordance with organisation requirements and faulty components are tagged, recorded and dispatched for repair/replacement

Range Statement

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.
