Unit of Competency | TLIW0036A - Apply electric welding process to rail |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to weld rails, crossings and switches using an electric welding process in accordance with approved standards, safeworking and regulatory requirements and workplace procedures. It includes using non-destructive testing to locate defects; preparing rails, crossings or switches for welding; gouging or grinding; setting up welding equipment; performing the welding operation; checking weld conformance; and completing required documentation. These processes are used to repair rail surface defects and restore rail profile to plain rail, crossings and switches. Licensing or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit. Persons achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil legislated rail safety requirements, including acts and regulations from each applicable state and territory, together with any nationally approved compliance codes and/or guidelines. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Work is performed under some supervision, generally in a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures to the welding of rail using an electric welding process 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. | ||
