Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage a rail yard or terminal, in accordance with legislative, regulatory and organisational requirements.It includes preparing to manage the rail yard or terminal, overseeing rail yard or terminal operational requirements, overseeing resourcing, implementing the safety management system, and developing and implementing rail yard or terminal emergency procedures. This unit can be applied to freight yards, marshalling yards, intermodal terminals, maintenance yards or private sidings.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 yard or terminal 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, rules, codes of practice, guidelines and operation manuals.
