Metro Trains Melbourne Approved Safeworking Training Provider
Purpose
The objective of the bulletin is
to inform and confirm the Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) approved
safeworking training providers to enable rail safety workers to
work on MTM Metropolitan Rail Network.
Background
Section 117 of the Rail Safety
National Law (RSNL) requires rail transport operators to ensure
that each rail safety worker who is carry out rail safety work in
relation to railway operations in respect of which the operator is
required to be accredited has the competence to carry out the work.
This means all workers including
direct employees of MTM as well as contractors and third party
suppliers that enter the MTM Metropolitan Rail Network must have
completed the safety training and achieved the required
competencies.
Initial Certification
It is MTM’s responsibility that
all people entering the MTM Metropolitan Rail Network are trained
to meet MTM’s safety requirements. Therefore, only selected
organisations are recognised to deliver the training to enable rail
safety workers to work on the MTM Metropolitan Rail Network.
Effective 26 July 2021, MTM
recognises the following organisations to deliver selected training
courses listed below:
MTM also recognises competencies
through John Holland for TTSA and TVO1.
Recertification
(renewal) Training
As an accredited Rail Transport Operator (ARTO), MTM must ensure
the ongoing competence of rail safety workers. This is achieved
through the delivery of recertification training.
All recertification (renewal) training must be undertaken through
Metro Academy.
