Unit of Competency TLIW3027 - Operate minor track equipment
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate minor track equipment as part of workplace activities across a variety of rail operational contexts.It includes performing pre-operational equipment checks; obtaining approval to place on track; preparing, operating and monitoring minor equipment on track; removing equipment from track; performing post operation equipment procedures; and completing documentation.The unit covers equipment that can be manually lifted on or off track, including equipment that can be moved and operated on trolleys. Minor track equipment may include:ballast scarifiersdog pullersdog screw setters/driversjoint liftersmulti-spindle borerspower track jacksrail-mounted compressorsmall sleeper spacersspike driversvarious fastening applicators.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/or guidelines.Operators of minor track equipment must have undertaken training and, where appropriate, hold the relevant licence, permit and/or certification and be recognised as competent for the requirements for the type of equipment 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, codes of practice and operation manuals.
