What an assessment for CPCCCM2010 must cover

40 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Identify work requirements.

  • 1.1Site of proposed work at heights is identified from relevant information.
  • 1.2Tasks to be completed are identified from work orders and supervisor instructions.
  • 1.3Personal protective equipment (PPE) suitable to the job is selected and checked for serviceability.
  • 1.4Method of accessing work area is identified according to safe work method statement (SWMS).
  • 1.5Safe work methods for moving tools, equipment and materials to work area are identified to minimise risks.
  • 1.6Verbal and non-verbal communication signals are confirmed with team members, supervisor and other personnel working on site, as required.

2 Access work area.

  • 2.1Work site is inspected and conditions and hazards are assessed and reported, as required, and risk controls selected according to SWMS.
  • 2.2Safety of scaffolding is checked and faults are reported to relevant personnel.
  • 2.3Arrangements are made to install required access equipment according to SWMS.
  • 2.4Access equipment is inspected for defects and issues are reported and rectified according to health and safety requirements.
  • 2.5Safe work methods are used to access work area and to move tools, equipment and materials to required locations on the work site.
  • 2.6Tools and materials are placed to eliminate or reduce the risk of items falling.

3 Conduct work tasks.

  • 3.1Work is conducted following workplace-approved procedures and SWMS.
  • 3.2Communication with team members and other site personnel is maintained as required to progress work tasks according to required timelines.
  • 3.3Fall protection equipment is kept in place and adjusted to cater for movement during work.
  • 3.4Scaffold components and fall barriers are kept in place during work.

4 Finalise work processes.

  • 4.1Egress from work area is completed following SWMS and work site supervisor approved methods for moving self, tools and materials to ground level.
  • 4.2Tools, equipment and materials returned to ground level are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored according to manufacturer specifications.

Performance evidence

  • locate, interpret and apply relevant job task information, standards and specifications
  • comply with site safety plan and safe work method statements (SWMS) for access to the work site and completion of the job tasks at heights
  • safely and effectively use tools, plant and equipment
  • communicate and work effectively and safely with others
  • select and use height access work methods, including inspecting scaffold for faults
  • apply knowledge of construction materials to identify: - manual handling risks - types of lifting and support structures approved for use
  • modify work activities to cater for variations in work site procedures, contexts and environment to work safely at heights
  • use safe handling requirements, based on information provided for equipment, products and materials

Knowledge evidence

  • construction terminology relevant to working at heights
  • contents of and terms used in job safety analyses (JSA) and SWMS for accessing work sites at heights and for completing job tasks while working at heights
  • contents of and terms used in safety data sheets (SDS) relevant to the use of tools, equipment and materials
  • emergency procedures relevant to working on scaffolding higher than two metres
  • quality requirements relating to the set-up of equipment for accessing heights, and for job tasks completed while working at heights
  • requirements of Australian standards and codes of practice governing work at heights, including: - AS 6001 Working platforms for housing construction - AS/NZS 1576 Scaffolding – General requirements - AS/NZS 4576 Guidelines for scaffolding - Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice – Preventing Falls in Housing Construction
  • types, characteristics, uses and limitations of plant, tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), used for accessing work sites over two metres, and for applying safe work methods to complete job tasks while working at heights
  • common faults in scaffolding and access equipment
  • workplace and work site health and safety requirements relevant to working at heights

Foundation skills

  • Numeracy skills: perform measurements relating to checking safety of scaffolding.
  • Oral communication skills: report faults in scaffolding construction or materials report non-routine hazards to a supervisor.
  • Reading skills: interpret safe work methods and risk control strategies in the SWMS relating to job tasks.
  • Planning and organising skills: plan and schedule work in a logical sequence.

Questions about assessing CPCCCM2010

What does an assessment tool for CPCCCM2010 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCCM2010 needs to address all 40 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 9 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for CPCCCM2010?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCCM2010 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for CPCCCM2010 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCCM2010 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of CPCCCM2010, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
