Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

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:

communicating effectively with individuals and work groups

communicating with Network Control Officer is maintained using appropriate communications systems

conducting a visual assessment of track worksite characteristics to identify job hazards and taking required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards

defining the authority boundaries when conducting track protection assessment

identifying unsafe situations and emergencies

identifying safe places when conducting track protection assessment

identifying positions for handsignaller and lookouts when conducting track protection assessment as required

identifying level and pedestrian crossings when conducting track protection assessment

identifying fixed rail infrastructure when conducting track protection assessment

preparing site protection arrangement plans

preparing worksite protection plan.

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:

characteristics of track worksites

operational communications protocols and systems

positioning requirements for handsignallers

Rail Infrastructure Manager policies, procedures, rules and protocols for identified unsafe situations or emergencies within workplace role

Rail Infrastructure Manager rules and procedures

Rail Infrastructure Manager rules and procedures for working around electrical infrastructure

rail terminology as defined by the relevant Rail Infrastructure Manager safeworking system

railway track signals and their use

relevant rail danger zones and safeworking systems

relevant safeworking system workplace rules and procedures
