Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to find and repair rail signalling system faults.It includes preparing to find and repair signalling system faults, using appropriate fault-finding techniques, repairing or rectifying faults and completing reporting requirements.Persons achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements and comply with relevant codes of practice, rules and/or guidelines.No other licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to find and repair rail signalling system fault/s
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and clarified
  • 1.2 Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work
  • 1.3 Safety hazards that have not previously been identified are documented on job safety assessments, risks are assessed, and control measures determined and implemented in consultation with appropriate person/s
  • 1.4 Appropriate person/s is consulted to determine the nature and scope of the fault/s and to coordinate effectively with others affected by the fault/s
  • 1.5 Likely causes of the fault/s and order of probability are determined from system data and historical trends
  • 1.6 Impact of the fault on system is ascertained and appropriate person/s notified in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.7 Materials needed to find and repair the fault are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked against job specifications
  • 1.8 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to find and repair the fault/s are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
  • 1.9 Circuits/equipment are inspected and checked as being isolated, where necessary, in strict accordance with operational procedures and WHS/OHS requirements
2 Find and repair rail signalling system faults
  • 2.1 WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out work are followed
  • 2.2 Signalling system performance parameters/standards are applied to appropriate fault-finding techniques
  • 2.3 Inspection and tests are conducted to determine the type and location of fault/s
  • 2.4 Wiring system is visually inspected for physical damage or installation defects, as required
  • 2.5 Methods for dealing with unplanned situations are selected on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes
  • 2.6 Ongoing inspections and checks of the signalling system are undertaken to confirm the continued rectification of the fault
  • 2.7 Fault/s are located and identified efficiently, without waste of materials or damage to apparatus, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices
  • 2.8 Signalling system faults are rectified in accordance with workplace procedures
3 Complete repair/s to rail signalling system
  • 3.1 WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out work are followed
  • 3.2 Unresolved faults are reported to appropriate person/s for further action in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3 Inspection and test results, actions taken or recommended are documented and appropriate person/s notified in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.4 Component fault/s, test result/s, authorisation/s and permit/s documentation are completed to provide an accurate database and facilitate follow-up action and relevant reports
