The Course aims to provide participants with a greater understanding of ‘rail essentials’ content, and enable learners to make decisions that encourage the following key elements of a rail mindset:

• Access control
• Protect personnel
• Protect public
• Protect rolling stock
• Protect assets
• Communication

The target learners for this instance of course delivery are Work Group Supervisors, Project Managers and Engineers in rail. Those who work on rail must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies. Relevant safety related training programs are often mandated by regulation or industry agreements and documented in state codes of practice. Due to the significant safety risks in the industry these employees work within highly proceduralised workplaces with mature workplace safety systems. Workers in the industry are required to regularly complete workplace safety risk assessment and work planning documentation, and therefore bring a solid foundational understanding of risk assessment and workplace safety documentation concepts and practices to the program.
