The ATSB recommends that Pacific National further develop and
validate their procedure for the use of Wheel Condition Monitoring
systems. The procedure should include but not be limited to the
following:
a) identification of limiting factors and circumstances for the
withdrawal of wagons from service when a fault or number of
developing fault readings has
been detected
b) formalisation of the actions to make sure that faults detected
are acted on in a specified time
c) formalisation of the actions by train crews and others when
faults detected enroute are advised by the Australian Rail Track
Corporation.
