Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to check and repair track geometry, in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, workplace procedures and rail network geometry specifications.It includes determining the job requirements, restoring track geometry, checking track compliance after work 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 minimal supervision, generally in a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when checking and repairing track geometry, 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.
Notes
