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 install and service rail lubrication equipment in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes installing the lubrication equipment, servicing and monitoring the lubrication equipment, removing lubrication equipment and completing all required documentation.

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 some supervision, generally within a team environment.

It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when installing and servicing rail lubrication equipment, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system.

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

Not applicable.
