The ARTC-ST144 Signal Safeworking course provides participants with current knowledge of ARTC Signal Safeworking Standards and Procedures for work in NSW, SA and VIC. ARTC-ST144 replaces ARTC-ST43.

HRD offers a ST144 for electrical or mechanical signal safeworking. HRD also provides a ST144 Refresher course.

Course Content

This course assumes a knowledge of signalling systems and principles. The course covers:

• the signalling standards, codes, network rules and rail corridor protocols for working on the ARTC signalling system.
• maintenance responsibilities, service schedules, testing and certifying requirements.
• signals equipment issues, including failure and failure management.
• changes and work on network infrastructure, such as re-railing, bridging authorities, equipment disconnection and booking equipment out of/into service.
• accident and incident management and investigation.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of training, participants will be able to:

• explain the safeworking rules, standards, protocols and procedures that apply to working on ARTC signalling equipment.
• list the required steps for a number of important safeworking procedures.
• demonstrate correct safeworking practices whilst working on signalling infrastructure.
