Unit of Competency TLIL5072 - Manage rail yard operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage rail yard operations, in accordance with legislative, regulatory and organisational requirements.It includes preparing to manage rail yard operations, optimising rail yard operations, managing rail yard resourcing requirements, incorporating rail yard safety requirements into the organisational safety management system (SMS), and implementing rail yard 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 yard 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.
