What an assessment for CPCCCM3001 must cover

56 assessable components: 6 elements (23 performance criteria), 13 performance evidence and 15 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 Plan and prepare.

  • 1.1Job requirements are obtained, confirmed and applied to planning.
  • 1.2Work site is inspected and terrain level checked to determine stabilising and safe working area requirements.

  • 4.4Work is carried out according to job specification, operator manual, and health and safety requirements.

5 Lower platform and shut down.

  • 5.1Controls are operated according to manufacturer recommendations and platform is lowered to down position.
  • 5.2Shut-down procedures are carried out according to operator manual instructions and equipment is switched off.

6 Clean up.

  • 6.1Work area is cleared and materials disposed of, reused or recycled according to legislation, regulations, codes of practice, and job specifications.
  • 6.2EWP, tools and equipment are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored according to manufacturer recommendations and standard work practices.
  • 6.3Work completion procedures are applied and relevant personnel notified that work is finished.

Performance evidence

  • set up and operate each of the following types of elevated work platforms (EWPs) at two different locations on the site, including moving the plant around the work site safely: self-propelled boom lift (BL); scissor lift (SL).
  • The following functions and controls must be performed while operating both BL and SL: boom up and down; operate attachments; operate outriggers, where fitted.
  • The following functions and controls must be performed while operating the BL: slew left and right; telescope in and out.
  • At least one EWP must be set up and operated on uneven terrain, using outriggers as required.
  • fit harnesses and attach lanyards as follows: energy or shock absorbers, which must be used with all fall arrest equipment; lanyards, which must be attached to the harness installed so that the maximum distance a person equipped with a harness would free fall before the fall arrest system takes effect is two metres.
  • establish and apply a rescue plan
  • apply safe operating procedures, including conducting operational risk assessment and treatments associated with: earth leakage boxes; lighting; power cables, including overhead service trays, cables and conduits; restricted access barriers; surrounding structures; traffic control; trip hazards; work site visitors and the public; working at heights up to 11 metres; working in proximity to others; working with dangerous materials
  • locate, interpret and apply information relating to job requirements, including: diagrams and sketches; environmental requirements, including: clean-up protection, noise and dust management, vibration management, waste management; quality requirements relevant to EWP work; instructions issued by authorised organisational and external personnel; manufacturer specifications, operator manual, and instructions where specified; signage; industry standards and job specifications; verbal, written and graphical instructions; work schedules, plans and specifications
  • comply with site safety plan and health and safety legislation, regulations and codes of practice applicable to workplace operations
  • safely and effectively use tools, plant and equipment relevant to EWP work
  • ensure safe working load of EWP is not exceeded
  • communicate with others on the work site using verbal and non-verbal communication and communication technology
  • work effectively and safely with others on the work site

Knowledge evidence

  • functions and operational limitations of EWP equipment
  • types of EWP equipment and health and safety authority certification of competency requirements
  • controls and techniques for using EWP
  • health and safety requirements for construction work sites, including: procedures relating to equipment operation, including emergency shutdown and stopping, extinguishing equipment fires, organisational first aid requirements, and evacuation procedures; hazard identification and risk control procedures, including for handling hazardous materials and dangerous goods; selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE); location and use of firefighting equipment; selection and use of tools and equipment; processes for identifying equipment faults
  • general construction terminology relevant to operating EWPs
  • safe operating procedures for operating EWPs, including contents of and terms used in: job safety analyses (JSA); safe work method statements (SWMS); safety data sheets (SDS)
  • processes for calculating load mass requirements
  • quality requirements relevant to operating EWPs
  • regulatory and legislative requirements relevant to operating EWPs
  • AS 2550 Set: Cranes, hoists and winches - Safe use
  • relevant Acts, regulations and codes of practice relevant to working safely at heights on construction sites
  • procedures for working safely at heights
  • signalling methods and communications relevant to operating EWPs

Questions about assessing CPCCCM3001

What does an assessment tool for CPCCCM3001 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCCM3001 needs to address all 56 unit components: 6 elements with 23 performance criteria, 13 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 CPCCCM3001?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCCM3001 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 CPCCCM3001 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCCM3001 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 CPCCCM3001, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
