Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to start up and shut down a single locomotive.It includes inspecting, preparing and starting up a single locomotive; conducting in-cab and post start-up checks; completing start-up documentation; stabling locomotive; and carrying out post-operational checks.Locomotives may include: diesel locomotiveselectric locomotivesrailcars.This work is conducted as part of operating locomotives and may be carried out by different personnel working within rail operations.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations or, where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate rail 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 include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
