Queensland Rail 3.2 Safely Access the Rail Corridor & 3.15 Working in the Electrified Territory – Recertifications

The QR3.2 Safely Access the Rail Corridor Recertification course is aligned with the specific requirements of Queensland Rail’s Network Rules and Procedures MD-12-189. It is designed to equip learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to safely enter and navigate the rail corridor and danger zone, with the permission of the access provider, in full compliance with legislative and regulatory standards.

Participants will learn to adhere to the policies, procedures, and protocols of the access provider to ensure situational awareness and rail safety. The course covers operating under local track protection rules, including interpreting track protection requirements, executing assigned protection tasks, and performing work activities in line with safe working practices and workplace procedures. Additionally, learners will be trained to respond effectively to safety incidents and abnormal situations, within their scope of personal responsibility.

The QR3.15 Working in the Electrified Territory Recertification course provides essential safety training for workers who will be working in or near Queensland Rail's electrified rail environment. It covers safe practices for operating around the electric traction system and working within electrified territories to prevent injuries and incidents.

The course is designed for contractors and authorised personnel, equipping them with a foundational understanding of the traction system, electrical risks, and minimum safe working procedures for working in electrified areas within Queensland Rail. It also provides guidelines on effectively reporting incidents and emergencies.

Successful completion of this training is mandatory to perform work safely on or near high-voltage electrical apparatus across Queensland Rail’s electrified rail network (unless the work is performed under direct supervision). This course does not grant access to railway corridors or facilities.
