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 repair fences and gates in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.

It includes selecting and preparing the materials, clearing and excavating the site, digging the required holes, installing the components, performing any required repairs and maintenance of the fences and/or gates, and completing 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 repairing fences and gates, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system.

Operators of mechanised equipment must have undertaken training and, where appropriate, hold the relevant licence, permit or certificate and be recognised as competent for the class of machinery being used.

Not applicable.
