URN: UKTTE16
Business Sectors (Suites): Tram Engineering
Developed by: UK Tram
Approved on: 2021

Overview

This standard is about carrying out routine maintenance on Tram vehicle assets, components, equipment and systems.  You will be able to carry out routine maintenance on a range of interactive technologies such as, mechanical, electrical, fluid power, process controller and communication systems.  These activities will be undertaken as scheduled and under the guidance of a team leader or supervisor and will involve understanding the range of Tram vehicle asses, components, equipment and systems.  You will be able to interpret information relating to the routine maintenance activities and undertake these activities using organisational approved methods and procedures.  At all times you will follow approved organisational and regulatory health and safety procedures and take precautions to prevent damage to surrounding equipment and systems.

You will know and understand the importance of securing the area prior to routine maintenance activities taking place as well as undertaking activities in the correct sequence. 

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