Overview

This standard is about being able to obtain, use and interpret technical engineering information in the Tram and Tramway environment. You will be able make effective use of text, numeric and graphical information, by interpreting and using technical information extracted from engineering documentation such as drawings, technical manuals, reference tables, specifications, charts or electronic displays, in accordance with approved procedures. You will be required to extract the necessary information from the various sources to support work activities and to make valid decisions about the quality and accuracy of the work produced. Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for obtaining and using the data and documentation. You will be expected to report any problems with the use and interpretation of the technical information to the relevant person within your organisation and in line with organisational requirements.

This standard is for those who work in the Tram and Tramway engineering and construction environment.
