Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to identify the principles of self-propelled rail grinder operations.It includes determining components and work stations of self-propelled rail grinders, identifying self-propelled rail grinder functions, and identifying hazards and risks associated with self-propelled rail grinder operations.The unit provides an introduction to self-propelled rail grinders and is not to be used for their operation, which must be covered by individual certification for the particular machine.Components may include:computer systemsfirefighting equipmentglobal positioning systems (GPS)grinding stonesgrinding unitslasersrecorderstrolleyswaste extraction systems.Work stations may include:data inputdrive stationexternal work stationmain operator station.Operators of self-propelled rail grinders must have undertaken training and hold the relevant licence, permit or certificate and be recognised as competent for each type of machinery being used.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
