Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify faults, defects and deficiencies
   • Operational capability of rolling stock and/or motive power unit ancillary equipment is evaluated
   • Faulty or damaged components or equipment are identified and assessed
   • Impact of faults on work requirements is identified and safe operating capabilities are evaluated
   • Work areas and equipment are made safe for inspection
2. Conduct minor repairs
   • Minor repairs are carried out in accordance with manufacturer specifications and organisational procedures
   • Equipment, tools and required materials are operated, applied and handled in accordance with work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and manufacturer specifications to prevent injury and damage
3. Check and report minor repairs
   • Minor repairs are checked for compliance with safety
   • Equipment is checked to ensure it conforms to organisational standards
   • Repairs are recorded in appropriate records or logbooks
   • Operational capabilities are monitored and further evaluated
   • Communication is maintained with relevant personnel

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required knowledge and skills the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of applying required knowledge and skills relevant legislation and organisational procedures other relevant aspects of the range statement Assessment must include exercises that demonstrate competent performance of the following in a range of situations carrying out checks of different types of motive power units and rolling stock identifying possible faults defects and deficiencies and appropriate remedial activities carrying out minor repairs correctly
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Performance is demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts Resources for assessment include access to a range of relevant exercises case studies andor other simulated practical and knowledge assessment andor access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace In both real and simulated environments access is required to relevant and appropriate materials and equipment and applicable documentation including organisational procedures regulations codes of practice and operation manuals
Method of assessment	As a minimum assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate writtenoral tests Practical assessment must occur through activities in an appropriately simulated environment andor in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
