Assessment Requirements for UEERS0021 Assemble and wire electrical rail signalling equipment

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package. This unit replaces and is not equivalent to UEERS0001 Assemble and wire internal electrical rail signalling equipment. Modifications in the second release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package include: Title changed. Application updated to reflect title change. UEERS0020 added to prerequisites. Element titles and performance criteria amended to reflect title change. Performance criteria 3.5 added. Performance evidence updated for clarity. Content related to inverters in Knowledge Evidence moved to a different unit. Minor text amendments made to assessment conditions.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two separate occasions and include:
applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including risk control measures following relevant codes of practice and industry standards applying sustainable energy and environmental protection principles and practices preparing to assemble and wire signalling equipment applying relevant rail signalling regulations and codes applying relevant technical manuals and catalogues to workplace practices using appropriate tools correctly and safely interpreting signalling circuit diagrams interpreting specifications correctly assembling and wiring equipment to specified/technical workplace requirements ensuring assembled/wired equipment operates to specifications following correct testing procedures conducting mandatory tests and identifying non-conformance using effective workplace methods completing the assembly and wiring of signalling equipment completing relevant technical reports, mandatory reporting, records and documentation dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
WHS/OHS requirements including: processes for conducting risk assessment and implementing risk mitigation rail safe working practices, protection and management electrical safe working practices and workplace procedures hazards associated with low voltage (LV), extra-low voltage (ELV) and high currents, including: arrangement of power distribution and circuits in an electrical installation parts of an electrical system and equipment that operate at LV and ELV parts of an electrical system and equipment where high currents are likely risks and control measures associated with harmful dusts and airborne contaminants - thermal insulation, fibrous cement materials and asbestos, and other fibre reinforced switchboard materials risks and control measures associated with LV, including: control measures before, during and after working on electrical installations, circuits or equipment control measures for working live isolation and tagging-off procedures risks and restrictions in working live risks associated with modifying electrical installations, fault finding, maintenance and repair risks and control measures associated with high voltage (HV), including: parts of an electrical system and equipment that operate at HV terms ‘touch voltage’, ‘step voltage’, ‘induced voltage’ and ‘creepage’ as they relate to the hazards of HV, and control measures used for dealing with the hazards of HV safety, selection, use, maintenance and care of test equipment, including: checks and storage methods for maintaining the safety of testing devices safety characteristics and safe use of electrical testing devices rail signalling, drawings and diagrams, including layouts, conventions and symbols mechanical rail signalling equipment including their components, operating principles and servicing procedures optical fibre safety rail signalling and electro-pneumatic equipment, including operating principles and parameters, and servicing procedures relevant cable and equipment schedules relevant rail signalling, regulations and codes of practice scope of AS7716 Signalling Testing Process relevant workplace policies, procedures and documentation relevant manufacturer specifications, manuals and catalogues.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry relay, racks/frames/enclosures, switch circuit controllers, telephone technology and vital computer-based interlocking modules applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
