Release 1 . This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to stable a heritage steam locomotive in accordance with relevant workplace procedures, rail regulations and codes of practice.

It includes determining the required stabling location, shunting and securing train, stabling and securing a heritage steam locomotive, carrying out all required post-operational checks and completing post-operational paperwork.

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.

Work is performed under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when stabling and securing a heritage steam locomotive across a variety of operational contexts in the Australian heritage rail system.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
