Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify loading/unloading requirements and priorities
  • Freight movement requirements are identified using the freight load plan
  • Freight movement priorities are established in accordance with freight movement documentation, workplace policies and procedures
  • Freight movement timings and the availability of loading/unloading equipment are established using appropriate freight movement documentation and train schedules
       
Element: Coordinate freight yard movement activities
  • Yard freight handling equipment is allocated to loading/unloading operations in line with identified priorities
  • Marshalling of rolling stock and movement of freight are coordinated to minimise time and potential damage in the freight transfer
  • Freight for delivery or collection is appropriately and clearly marked and placed in freight holding area according to workplace procedures
