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 identify, diagnose and rectify faults on electric passenger trains in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes identifying maintenance and/or repair requirements, conducting minor maintenance and routine repairs, and checking and reporting minor repairs and/or maintenance in accordance with workplace procedures.

Work is generally performed without supervision and within a team environment. It involves the application of routine fault identification, diagnosis and rectification procedures when maintaining the safety and operation of equipment on electric passenger trains operating within Australian rail systems.

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

Not applicable.

B – Equipment Checking and Maintenance

Rail sector.
