Description | ||||
Employability Skills | ||||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assist a train driver to shunt, couple and uncouple an electric passenger train to operational requirements in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.It includes assisting with: planning and preparing for shunting operations, shunting the train, coupling and uncoupling the train, and using a coupling adaptor.People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety and safeworking requirements and to comply with relevant codes of practice and/or guidelines.Work is performed with minimal supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures to assist with shunting, coupling and uncoupling electric passenger trains to operational requirements 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.
