Unit of Competency TLIB3099 - Examine track infrastructure
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to examine track and right of way infrastructure in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures. It includes preparing for examination, examining track and right of way, analysing examination results, and reporting findings. People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements and to comply with relevant codes of practice and/or guidelines.Work is performed under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when examining track infrastructure, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system.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.

Practical assessment must occur in appropriate range of situations in the rail environment.

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

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
