Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assist with train operations as a driver assistant or second-person, in accordance with workplace procedures and the requirements of the relevant safeworking system and codes of practice.It includes assisting with preparations for train operation, assisting with the operation of the train, assisting with loading and unloading operations and handing over or stabling the train in accordance with workplace requirements.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 and/or guidelines.Work is performed in conjunction with a train driver. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when assisting with train operations across a variety of operational workplace contexts within the Australian rail system.Visual inspections include:wheels and braking equipment for signs of wear or damageflexible connections and fittings for signs of wear or damagecouplings for signs of wear or damagefuel, oil and waterair leakagemotive power unit equipment and, if applicable, end of train monitoring devicerolling stock for defects.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 rail corridor 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, codes of practice and operation manuals.
