• Minor statement changes in Performance Criteria
• Minor statement changes in Performance Evidence
• Minor statement changes in Assessment Conditions.

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

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:

• adapting to differences in rolling stock and associated equipment and procedures
• documenting outcomes of inspecting rolling stock
• identifying all activities carried out prior to moving rolling stock in accordance with workplace procedures
• identifying job hazards and taking required actions to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
• identifying rolling stock stabling requirements
• identifying who is responsible for authorising moving rolling stock
• interpreting and following instructions and prioritising work
• modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments
• reading, interpreting and following relevant instructions, procedures, information and signs
• working collaboratively with others inspecting and preparing rolling stock.

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:

• procedures for managing and controlling hazardous situations when preparing and checking rolling stock
• relevant system of safeworking and workplace procedures
• relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures and relevant regulations
• requirements for completing relevant documentation when inspecting and preparing rolling stock.

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 where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur 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 personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry
• applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, rail network standards, codes of practice and operation manuals.
