The training for the Rail Corridor Induction can be completed online and is mandatory for all third party contractors who access the rail corridor. It can be accessed ‘on demand’ from the Arc Infrastructure website and completed at any time. A certificate will be issued once a worker has completed and passed the online course, and this certificate will be required to stay with the worker while they are in the rail corridor.
It is important to note that the Rail Corridor Induction does not replace the formal application process third parties currently use to request access to the rail corridor to complete inspections and other work activities, nor does it replace any existing training requirements.
If a third party contractor is required to work closer than 5m to the nearest rail, they are still required to complete a Supervised Worker or Protection Officer Safeworking course and obtain a Track Access Permit (TAP) relevant to their tasks.
The Rail Corridor Induction online training course covers a broad range of topics including minimum PPE requirements, fit for work information, speed limits, entering and exiting the rail corridor safely, environmental considerations and what to do in the event of an emergency.
The Rail Corridor Induction is free of charge and valid for 12 months. After this 12 month period the Induction will need to be completed again if the third party contractor still requires access to the rail corridor.
Proof of completion will need to be shown by all third party contractors working in the rail corridor.
