Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake measurement and marking of track for resurfacing operations in accordance with safe working and regulatory requirements, and workplace procedures. It includes identifying and marking track obstructions, using appropriate measurement tools to measure the range of geometry elements, calculating recording and marking data for resurfacing operations, and recording and reporting results. 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 within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when measuring and marking track for resurfacing across a variety of operational contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
