Qualification -
Unit of Competency TLIS3023A - Erect and mount structures and housings for signalling equipment
Description This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to erect and mount structures and housings for signalling equipment in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements and workplace procedures including installing the foundations, assembling the components, and installing and mounting the structures and housings in accordance with specifications. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application Persons achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable legislated rail safety requirements including acts and regulations from each state and territory together with any nationally approved compliance codes and/or guidelines.Work is performed with under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures to general site maintenance carried out as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system.
