Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply rail safeworking rules and procedures.It includes establishing the purpose and function of safeworking systems, implementing the principles of rail safeworking systems and implementing the principles of track protection systems. This unit covers applying rail safeworking systems, which are integrated systems of operating procedures and engineered systems used in the rail network for safe operation of rail traffic, and protection of people and property. It can be applied to freight, heavy haul or metropolitan and regional passenger rail systems.In applying this unit, the following rail safety operating principles may be involved:ensuring emergencies and incidents are properly managedensuring interfaces between different organisations are properly defined and managedidentifying and managing riskprotecting people from injuryprotecting property from damagetrack accesstrain separation.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 rail workplace operational situations or, where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate rail 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, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
