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 plan and coordinate worksite protection for multiple worksites within the limits of a work on track authority.

It includes identifying protection requirements for multiple worksites, establishing protection of multiple worksites and removing protection arrangement for multiple work groups.

The track protection requirements may involve long-term planning and consultation with a number of stakeholders.

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.

The unit includes the application of Rail Infrastructure Manager rules, procedures and protocols for rail safety but does not include the implementation of worksite protection.

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

Not applicable.

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:

• analysing nature and complexity of a work program
• analysing track work activities for complexity
• applying relevant system of safeworking, including workplace procedures
• communicating effectively with individuals and work groups
• completing work on track authority documentation
• developing a worksite protection plan for multiple worksites within limits of a work on track authority
• explaining plan to relevant stakeholders and appropriate personnel
• explaining variations to plan that may need to be negotiated
• following Rail Infrastructure Manager workplace policies, procedures, rules and protocols
• fulfilling worksite permits
• identifying job hazards and taking required actions to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
• identifying unsafe situations and emergencies
• managing a worksite protection plan with multiple worksites within limits of a work on track authority
• using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with Rail Infrastructure Manager requirements.

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:

• operational communications protocols and systems
• Rail Infrastructure Manager policies, procedures, rules and protocols for identified unsafe situations or emergencies for multiple worksites within limits of a Work On Track Authority
• rail terminology as defined by the relevant Rail Infrastructure Manager system
• relevant rail danger zones
• track possession documentation
• track work authority
• types of track protection and system of safeworking
• worksite protection plans.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within 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 must include access to:

• a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
• relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and PPE currently used in industry
• applicable documentation and terminology as defined by the relevant Rail Infrastructure Manager system of safeworking including workplace procedures, regulations, rules and codes of practice.
