Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to install mechanical infrastructure for signalling in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures. It includes assembling components, installing the equipment and components to specifications, and testing and adjusting the equipment to workplace requirements. 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 routine operational principles and procedures when installing mechanical infrastructure for signalling, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
