Diagnose and rectify minor faults on motive power units and rolling stock

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


Work must be carried out in compliance with workplace procedures and the regulations and safeworking codes of practice relevant to fault diagnosis and rectification.

Work is performed under some supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine minor fault diagnosis and rectification procedures to maintain the safety and operation of equipment across a variety of operational rail transport contexts.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to diagnose and rectify minor faults on motive power units and rolling stock in accordance with workplace requirements. It includes identifying maintenance and/or repair requirements, conducting minor maintenance and routine repairs, checking and reporting minor repairs and/or maintenance, and providing support in accordance with workplace procedures. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
