Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to propel and operate light on-track equipment as part of workplace activities across a variety of rail operational contexts.It includes performing pre-operational equipment checks, obtaining approval to place equipment on track, operating light equipment on track and stabling or moving equipment off track. Light on-track equipment is considered to be less than 10 tonnes that may be lifted on or off track mechanically and may include:ballast scarifiersdog screw setters/driversjoint liftersmulti-spindle borerspower track jacksprofile grindersrail-mounted compressorssmall sleeper spacersspike driversspike pullers (ride on)various fastening applicators.Light on-track equipment requires a basic operator skill level in manipulation, coordination, alignment and functional activity, with little complexity or variance in overall activity. This typically covers equipment carrying out basic repetitive and alignment type activities.People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements, to comply with relevant codes of practice and/or guidelines, and to meet organisational requirements to operate each individual piece of equipment.Operators will need to have fulfilled licence and/or certification requirements for the type of equipment being used.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 and terminology as defined by the relevant Rail Infrastructure Manager safeworking system including workplace procedures, regulations, rules and codes of practice.
