Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to test mechanical signalling equipment and isolate faults in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures. It includes undertaking preparation tasks, conducting testing and/or isolating equipment, checking equipment operation, and finalising the testing and/or isolation of equipment, in accordance with workplace procedures and relevant regulatory requirements. People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil rail industry standards and/or guidelines relevant to testing mechanical signalling equipment and isolating faults.Work is performed under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of regulatory requirements and workplace procedures when testing and isolating faults in mechanical signalling equipment.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 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

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

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, rail industry standards, rules, codes of practice and operation manuals.
