Release 1 . This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package. |
Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to identify the principles of mechanised track laying operations. It includes identifying components and work stations of mechanised track laying machines, identifying mechanised track laying functions, and identifying hazards and risks associated with mechanised track laying operations. The unit provides an introduction to mechanised track laying machines and is not to be used for their operation, which must be covered by individual certification for the particular machine or individual work stations. Components may include:
Work stations may include:
Operators of mechanised track laying machines must have undertaken training and hold the relevant licence, permit or certificate and be recognised as competent for each type of machinery being used. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
