Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

5 | Identify tram or light rail track and system faults or problems | 5.1 | Possible faults for tram or light rail track and system are identified |
5.2 | Reporting procedures and protocols for identified track and system faults are explained |
Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
Non-essential conditions can be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include: |
identifying job hazards and required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards identifying tools and equipment required for a range of tram or light rail track maintenance tasks identifying track machines required for a range of tram or light rail track installation and maintenance tasks interpreting and following operational instructions modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments. |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of: |
applicable safety, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures and regulations related to tram or light rail fundamentals of tram or light rail track and structures fundamentals of tram or light rail track layout and geometry rail electrical system related to tram or light rail infrastructure relevant safeworking system and workplace procedures tools and equipment used in tram or light rail track construction and repair tram or light rail track and overhead trolley components tram or light rail track terminology. |
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.
As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.
Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations or, where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate rail workplace conditions.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Resources for assessment include:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
