1.The Industrial Training Report Objective------
The Industrial Training report should cover all periods of approved employment. The report document is expected to demonstrate development of practical and professional skills in Engineering through technical experience and application of theoretical knowledge. The student should be able to present the report to prospective employers, as a complement to their degree. The following should be observed:
ii. Length---
The main text of the report should be between 3,000 and 5,000 words maximum, (about 12 pages), not including preliminary information, tables, figures, photos, and appendices.
iii. Preliminary Information---
A contents list, abstract and employment details should precede the main technical report. The abstract should be a summary of the report and comprise about 300 words on one page. The employment details should set out names of employing organisations, method of obtaining employment, specific periods of employment, and nature of appointments (eg. trainee engineer, ganger, chainman, labourer etc..
iv. Technical Report---
The major portion of the Report should be set out as a technical report, divided into suitable sections, and with an introduction to each major or different aspect of work. You may select one or two projects which have significant or interesting aspects.These may include investigation, feasibility, design, construction, management, commissioning or operational aspects etc...
The technical discussion should demonstrate detailed understanding of at least one part of the work which the student considers to be interesting, unusual or important to a civil engineer.
DON'T JUST REWORK TECHNICAL INFORMATION AS IN A TEXT BOOK. INDICATE HOW AND WHY YOU USED IT AND WHAT WAS THE BENEFIT TO YOU.
References should be made in the text to books, technical papers, standards etc., used during the training period and should be listed.
Finally, a Conclusion should include comprehensive comments on the type and value of experience gained, and how this relates to your professional career.
v. Presentation---
Reports should be written in plain English free of technical jargon and colloquialisms and typed. Aspects such as layout, clear expression, spelling, punctuation, quality of figures and photos will all be assessed. Reports must be presented on A4 paper with an appropriate cover. Normally the text will include relevant tables, photos and figures.
Detailed and essential material, referred to in the text, should be placed in appendices. Oversize diagrams, plans etc. if used, they should be folded in the proper manner.
Assessment criteria for reports include communication, presentation, technical content, achievements, reflection of experience and conclusions. You may receive written comments on your report as part of the assessment of this component.
Administration---
REMEMBER, TRAINING WITHOUT AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM OF 60 DAYS OF APPROVED TRAINING PLUS PASSING THE ASSESSMENT IS ESSENTIAL FOR GRADUATION.
BEST WISHES FOR A REWARDING WORK EXPERIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL TRAINING..

If you can't find any information to support what your safety trainer says about the existence of this number, is it likely that members of the public will know about this number and be reporting your colleagues...? I ask this purely as a rhetorical question. If your safety updates are anything like ours, all drivers (train operators/engineers) will have been told exactly the same thing. It really isn't your job to be scaring the bejesus out of them. If it bothers them enough they will make the change themselves, otherwise they will carry on in spite of the possible consequences. It's a tragedy that one of your wayside workers got collected by a train, but if cell phone usage was ruled out then perhaps the fault lies elsewhere. I don't like to have anything going on in the cab that distracts from looking out the window, but I can understand how some very legitimate activities can take your attention to the extent that you might miss a track worker until the last minute. On the other hand, in every job I've done there has been an element of "dead wood" in the form of people just going through the motions and collecting the pay cheque every month. It gives no credit to the rest of us when one among us commits an act borne of stupidity or negligence, especially if it leads to a loss of life. While I would never like to see a colleague lose their job, there is a perspective that each person reaps what they sow. If you're dumb enough to do something while on the move that results in an incident, then you really should be man enough to face up to the consequences. Therefore, if you find those consequences unpalatable then you really should be doing everything you can to prevent yourself from winding up in the situation where you need to be accounting for your actions. With all the best will in the world I know that there are people up at the pointy end of the train who really have no cause to be there. For the sake of my own safety, the safety of everyone else on the railway, the safety of the people on my train and the safety of those I love and call friends who use the service, I want to know that everyone involved in the safe working of the railways is doing their jobs to the best of their ability. I don't like to contemplate the possible consequences of someone taking their responsibilities too lightly. Please feel free to give me negative feedback for this answer. I'm not naive about what I'm saying and am prepared to take negative comments from other rail professionals. However, I am realistic enough to understand that things could always be better and to know that there are colleagues I would not happily entrust my loved ones. So shoot me down.
