Appendix C Portable, transportable and mobile plant behavioural framework
C.1 Introduction
Work undertaken by the Network Rail Ergonomics Team has identified a number of criteria and associated behaviours that have a link with good performance of people operating portable, transportable and mobile plant.
These criteria and behaviours have been produced as a checklist intended to support an employer’s/line manager’s decision to select an individual for training.
To confidently answer each question, employers/line managers may need to discuss these behaviours with other people who have also worked with the individual being considered for attendance to training. For example, a Section Manager may consider talking to their relevant assistant and team leader to gain a clearer picture of how an individual consistently behaves while on track. C.2 Guidance on Feedback
For candidates who are not deemed suitable, feedback should be provided to the candidate. The feedback needs to be specific about why they were not deemed suitable and the areas that they need to develop in order to be considered as suitable in the future. Prepare what you want to say and in what order - it is usually better to give positive feedback first before moving to the negative aspects of the evaluation.
Use the behavioural indicators to describe the sorts of behaviours that are associated with good performance.
Avoid criticising the candidate personally.
Acknowledge and address that the candidate may have feelings of anger or disappointment and agree a suitable action plan to provide the development and support needed to go forward.

Standards Briefing Note
Ref: NR/L2/CTM/220 Issue: 1 Title: Competence and Training in Portable, Transportable and Mobile Plant Operation Publication Date: 02/06/2012 Compliance Date: 02/06/2013 Standard Owner: Head of Professional Development and Training Non-Compliance rep (NRNC): Head of Professional Development and Training Further information contact: Steve Roberts Tel: 07771613166 Purpose:
The purpose of this standard is to set out the minimum requirements for the training and assessment of individuals who operate and/or use portable, transportable and/or mobile plant on Network Rail managed infrastructure. It defines processes that are to be implemented and the standards that are to be achieved to confirm that individuals who operate and/or use portable, transportable and/or mobile plant are competent.
Scope:
The standard applies to any individual who operates and/or uses portable, transportable and/or mobile plant on the Network Rail managed infrastructure.
This standard also applies to any individual who operates and/or uses portable, transportable and/or mobile plant when working on Network Rail owned or leased property unless the employer is able to demonstrate a fundamental equality in the assurance of employee competence by using an alternative system.
What’s New/ What’s Changed and Why:
This is a new competence and training framework associated with portable, transportable and mobile plant. The introduction of this standard is intended to:
remove duplication and inconsistencies in competencies by rationalisation of competence names
re-address the frequency and methodology of training and assessment requirements
standardise training materials to be utilised across the industry
This standard defines units of competence to identify the critical performance and knowledge criteria for the activity being undertaken and competence statements to identify where competence processes are required but where regulated competence already exist e.g. PASMA, CPCS etc.
The standard categorises equipment to reduce unnecessary duplication of common elements in training and to create flexibility when the introduction of new equipment occurs thus reducing overall competence counts for efficiency
This standard does not cover:
Chainsaws
Affected documents:
