Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to identify the principles of mechanised track laying operations.It includes identifying components and work stations of mechanised track laying machines, identifying mechanised track laying functions, and identifying hazards and risks associated with mechanised track laying operations.The unit provides an introduction to mechanised track laying machines and is not to be used for their operation, which must be covered by individual certification for the particular machine or individual work stations.Components may include:ballast conveyorcontrol panelscutter bar and chainfront linergantry cranelaying framenew sleeper laying baseold sleeper pick-upploughrail clampsrail feedersrear linersleeper tablesteering.Work stations may include:chain operator stationdeflection operator stationdrive stationgantry crane operator stationjewellery wagonmain operator stationpad layer stationrail feeder station.Operators of mechanised track laying machines must have undertaken training and hold the relevant licence, permit or certificate and be recognised as competent for each type 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.

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 including workplace procedures, regulations, rail industry standards, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

anticipating problems, faults and malfunctions that may occur, in accordance with organisational procedures

applying relevant workplace procedures

identifying job hazards and required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards

working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to equipment in accordance with organisational procedures.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

components and work stations of mechanised track laying machines

hazards that may exist when track laying and ways of controlling the risks involved

problems that may occur when track laying and action that can be taken to resolve and report these problems

relevant safety, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures and regulations

workplace procedures for using a mechanised track laying machine.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions can be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

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.
