Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate and monitor a monorail train in accordance with relevant workplace practices, regulations and codes of practice. This includes planning and identifying the monorail train for operations, operating the train, monitoring the train's performance during service, and communicating effectively with the Controller and other personnel. Licensing or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Plan and identify a monorail train for operations

- 1.3 Essential equipment is identified and obtained
2Operate and monitor monorail train in normal operational mode
- 2.1 Monorail train is operated within specifications and organisational requirements to meet required schedules and special services
- 2.2 On-board equipment is confirmed as being serviceable, and is operated in accordance with specifications and organisation requirements
- 2.3 Warning devices and gauges are monitored and responded to in accordance with organisation requirements
- 2.4 Operational restrictions established by the organisation and relevant legislation are observed
- 2.5 Monorail train is stopped in designated and approved locations and within limitations, to permit safe embarkation and alighting of all kinds of passengers
3Operate monorail train in abnormal situations
- 3.1 In the event of an abnormal situation occurring, Controller is contacted and their instructions are requested
- 3.2 Appropriate mode of operation is selected and implemented when authorised by the Controller
- 3.3 All instructions from the Controller are followed
4Monitor on-board equipment
- 4.1 Equipment is monitored to maintain optimum running conditions and identify faults, defects and deficiencies
- 4.2 Appropriate action is taken in response to identified faults, defects and deficiencies to ensure safe operation of train, including communications with Operations Controller where necessary
- 4.3 If instructed by the Controller, faults, defects and deficiencies are assessed to determine risk of damage to equipment or injury to personnel
- 4.4 Defects are reported and/or recorded
5Communicate with Controller
- 5.1 Regular communication is maintained with the Controller in the course of operation of the monorail train as per workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
- 5.2 Controller is advised of operational problems, delays, safety incidents and emergency situations that may arise in the course of operation of the monorail train
- 5.3 Information provided by the Controller relevant to the ongoing operation of the monorail train is interpreted and applied to driving activities as per workplace procedures and applicable regulatory requirements
6Follow all applicable regulatory requirements
- 6.1 Regulatory requirements applicable to the operation of the monorail train are accessed and interpreted
- 6.2 Relevant regulatory requirements are applied and followed in the course of operation of the monorail train
