Rail safety workers who undertake communications in the Public Transport Authority (PTA) network must exercise good practice communication behaviours to meet the performance expectations of 9102-000-001 – NS001 Network Communication. Safety Critical Communication training was introduced to ensure the requirements and performance expectations of the Network Communication Standard were applied uniformly.

 

Compliance

From the 1 July 2022, all PTA job roles (except Supervised Worker) will require:

• Certificate.PTA TLIF0008 Apply safety critical communications in the rail environment (910065)

 

This competency must be issued by PTA . Book your training at http://e.mybookingmanager.com/PTASafeworking

 

If a worker has not completed Safety Critical Communication Training by the 1 July 2022, their RIW job role (except Supervised Worker) will become invalid until the competency has been uploaded to RIW.

 

This change impacts the following job roles:

• PTA – Protection Officer 1 (PO1)
• PTA – Protection Officer 2 (PO2)
• PTA – Protection Officer 3 (PO3)
• PTA – Possession Protection Officer (PPO)
• PTA – Road Rail Vehicle (RRV) Safeworking
