3 Conduct work tasks.

• 3.1Undertake work tasks in compliance with the SWMS and workplace requirements.
• 3.2Traverse between anchor points while remaining connected to the fall prevention system and protected from a risk of a fall from height.
• 3.3Use PPE appropriate to the task and in accordance with manufacturer requirements.
• 3.4Maintain communication with relevant persons while working at height.
• 3.5Keep fall protection equipment in place and adjust to allow for movement during work.

What does an assessment tool for CPCCCM2012 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCCM2012 needs to address all 66 unit components: 3 elements with 23 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 42 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 CPCCCM2012?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCCM2012 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 CPCCCM2012 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCCM2012 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 CPCCCM2012, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
