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 some supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures to install and repair fences and gates 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 and repair fences and gates in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements and workplace procedures. It includes selecting and preparing the materials, clearing and excavating the site, digging the required holes, installing the components, performing any required repairs and maintenance of the fences and/or gates, and completing required documentation. Licensing or certification requirements may be 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)
