Carry out routine inspection of Tram vehicle assets, components and equipment
Overview
This standard is about carrying out routine inspection of Tram vehicle assets, components and equipment. It is about being able to access and carry out checks and tests to confirm that the assets, components and equipment are appropriate for operational use. You will be able to record and report and defects or variations in line with organisational procedures.
This standard is for those who work in the Tram engineering environment.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
P1 confirm you are wearing the correct PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and following the relevant health and safety procedures
P2 identify and follow the relevant information and documentation for the Tram vehicle asset, component or equipment being inspected
P3 select and prepare the required inspection tools and equipment
P4 identify the inspection checks to be carried out and the acceptance criteria to be used
P5 take precautions to prevent damage to surrounding equipment, components and systems during routine inspection activities
P6 carry out routine inspection activities in the required sequence using methods and techniques approved by your organisation
P7 observe the operation of the Tram vehicle assets, components and equipment to confirm they are functioning correctly, when relevant
P8 identify and record any defects or variations to Tram vehicle assets, components and equipment in line with organisational procedures
P9 report instances where the routine inspection activities cannot be completed or where issues have been identified in line with organisational procedures
