Rail Safety Equipment

Rail Safety Equipment is essential to shunting and driving.

The learner is introduced to key rail safety equipment found in the rail yard and along the tracks. The primary equipment featured in this experience includes the point clamps, derailers, wheel chocks, clearance markers, and the components of the turnout.

On completion, the learner can relate the purpose and function of this equipment, describe the safety impact if these devices are not used, and identify if the device has been deployed correctly.

This experience is highly relevant to a broad range of Transport and Logistics Training, drawing from competency criteria related to TLIW2041 - Clip points and apply rail safety equipment.
