Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package. |
Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to respond to and rectify rail traffic autonomous equipment for operation. This includes identifying repair requirements, conducting minor repairs, checking and reporting minor repairs. This unit defines rail traffic as a train. Work must be carried out in accordance with organisational procedures and regulations, and safe working codes of practice relevant to fault diagnosis and rectification. Work involves the application of routine minor fault diagnosis and rectification procedures when maintaining the safety and operation of an autonomous rail traffic and rolling stock across a variety of operational rail transport contexts. 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. |
