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:

• adapting to differences in motive power units and associated equipment and workplace procedures
• applying relevant workplace procedures
• communicating effectively with others when inspecting and preparing a motive power unit
• identifying job hazards and taking required actions to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards including:

• modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

• identifying who is responsible for authorising the movement of rolling stock
• interpreting and following instructions and prioritising work
• reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information and signs.

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:

• documentation requirements when inspecting and preparing a motive power unit
• hazardous situations, risk control measures and workplace procedures when preparing and starting up a motive power unit
• procedures for conducting pre-movement checks prior to moving a motive power unit
• relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and rail safety requirements
