Industrial Mastery Pathway
Dust & Fumes Advanced: Rail (Australia)
Operational Overview
Ballast dust, brake dust, welding fume from rail repair, grinding fume from track maintenance, and diesel exhaust from locomotives all combine to create a genuine dust and fumes risk across the rail network. Depot workshops, open track and confined spaces on rolling stock each change how that risk needs to be managed.
This course builds on your Dust & Fumes Advanced training with content specific to the rail industry. You'll work through the Model WHS Regulations and the Crystalline Silica Substances Amendment 2024, how Rail Safety National Law and ONRSR's oversight fit alongside these duties, and the practical realities of managing exposure across the network.
