Install overhead wiring structure

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


Persons achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable legislated rail safety requirements including acts and regulations from each state and territory together with any nationally approved compliance codes and/or guidelines.

Work is performed under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures to install overhead wiring structure as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail system.

Operators of mechanised equipment must have undertaken training and, where appropriate, hold the relevant licence, permit or certificate and be recognised as competent for the class of machinery being used.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to install overhead wiring structures in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements and workplace procedures including planning and preparing for the installation, installing the required components to specification, and completing all required documentation. 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)
