Unit of Competency TLIS3037 - Install and repair rail earthworks
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to install and repair rail earthworks in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and organisational procedures. It includes determining job requirements, undertaking trenching, establishing track formation and minor trackside earthworks, and completing documentation in accordance with specifications. 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 guidelines.Work is performed under some supervision, generally in a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when installing and repairing rail earthworks, as part of organisational activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system.Rail earthworks may include:accessing roadsreconstructing track formation and cappingrehabilitating waterways, including shaping channels and/or scour protectionshaping shoulders (cesses)sub-surface drainagetrackside or across track trenching (less than 1.5 m depth).Operators of mechanised equipment must have undertaken training and, where appropriate, hold the relevant licence, permit or certificate and be recognised as competent for the class of machinery being used.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.

Practical assessment must occur in appropriate range of situations in the rail corridor workplace.

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.
