Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to develop and manage fitness for work policy and procedures in an organisation.It includes identifying legal requirements, liabilities and responsibilities; establishing and/or improving implementation plans, related policy and procedures; and acting appropriately to reports on the implementation of fitness for work policy and any identified breaches of associated regulations. It also includes ensuring that the operation’s systems are compliant with regulations and organisational policy; and establishing, implementing, monitoring and communicating fitness for work programs. This unit applies to people with the responsibility for rail operations management.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
