Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to stable an electric passenger train in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements and workplace procedures. This includes conducting pre-stabling checks, stabling an electric passenger train and conducting post-stabling checks in accordance with workplace requirements. Licensing or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Conduct pre-stabling checks
- 1.1 Train stabling requirements are confirmed through workplace documents and/or relevant personnel
- 1.2 Location safety requirements are identified and followed according to workplace procedures
2Stable electric passenger train
- 2.1 Train is shunted and/or stabled in accordance with workplace instructions and procedures
- 2.2 If required, communication protocols are established and performed according to workplace requirements
- 2.3 On arrival at stabling location, the train is secured and the brakes cut out/isolated
- 2.4 Visual inspection of the train is conducted in accordance with workplace requirements
3Conduct post-stabling checks
- 3.1 Post-operational checks of the train are conducted in accordance with workplace procedures
- 3.2 If required, problems and defects are identified and reported/rectified in accordance with workplace procedures, regulatory requirements and manufacturers instructions
- 3.3 If required, safety devices are activated or put in position to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment
