Unit of Competency TLIL3083 - Implement a track work authority and manage rail traffic through worksites
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to implement a track work authority (TWA) and manage rail traffic through worksites, in accordance with Rail Infrastructure Manager rules, procedures and protocols for rail safety. It includes preparing fora TWA, managing rail traffic, fulfilling a TWA and managing unsafe situations or emergencies.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.The unit includes the application of Rail Infrastructure Manager rules, procedures and protocols for rail safety but does not include the implementation of worksite protection. 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 and terminology as defined by the relevant Rail Infrastructure Manager safeworking system including workplace procedures, regulations, rules and codes of practice.
