Application

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to install and repair rail earthworks in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and organisational procedures. It includes determining job requirements, undertaking trenching, establishing track formation and minor trackside earthworks, and completing documentation in accordance with specifications. 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 guidelines. Work is performed under some supervision, generally in a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when installing and repairing rail earthworks, as part of organisational activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system. Rail earthworks may include: accessing roads reconstructing track formation and capping rehabilitating waterways, including shaping channels and/or scour protection shaping shoulders (cesses) sub-surface drainage trackside or across track trenching (less than 1.5 m depth). 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.
