Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to decommission mechanical signalling infrastructure equipment and interlocking equipment from service in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures.It includes disconnecting mechanical/electromechanical equipment and components; modifying, testing and adjusting remaining equipment; and certifying and securing operational mechanical equipment in accordance with workplace requirements.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 as they apply to decommissioning mechanical signalling infrastructure and interlocking equipment from service.Work is performed under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment.It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when decommissioning mechanical signalling infrastructure equipment and interlocking equipment from service, 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.
