Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage rail assets and interfaces, in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements.It includes managing rail infrastructure fixed assets and maintenance regimes; managing rail operation fixed assets and management regimes; applying reliability, availability, maintainability and safety of rail infrastructure; and managing wheel rail interface. This unit involves knowledge of rail assets in general terms. It covers the different rail infrastructure and operational components and can be applied to freight, heavy haul or passenger rail systems.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
