Unit of Competency TLIW3042 - Grind rail on tram/light rail systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to grind rail welds and faults on tram or light rail systems in accordance with approved standards, safeworking and regulatory requirements, and organisational procedures.It includes determining job requirements, grinding weld and/or weld repair, grinding rail to repair surface defects and completing required documentation.This competency relates to grinding new welds and welded repairs on the rail and check rail, grinding out corrugations and re-profiling the rail.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 tram or light 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.
