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 conduct inspection of safeworking procedures and infrastructure in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes planning and preparing for inspection, inspecting safeworking infrastructure, inspecting for compliance with safeworking procedures, completing required reports and taking remedial action.

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 minimal supervision, generally within a team environment.

It involves the application of regulatory requirements and operational principles and procedures when conducting an inspection of safeworking procedures and infrastructure, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system. Safeworking procedures and infrastructure inspected may include any of those in use within the Australian rail system.

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