Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to enter the rail corridor. It includes taking appropriate safety precautions to:access the danger zoneaccess the rail corridor respond appropriately in an emergency.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, rules and/or guidelines.This unit involves the application of Rail Infrastructure Manager rules, procedures and protocols for rail safety.This unit applies to all people accessing the rail corridor.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 where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate a rail corridor.

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 PPE, materials, tools and equipment currently used in the rail industry

applicable documentation and terminology as defined by the relevant Rail Infrastructure Manager safeworking system including workplace procedures, rules and codes of practice.
