What an assessment for PMASUP445 must cover

42 assessable components: 3 elements (17 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 19 knowledge evidence requirements. 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 Prepare for HAZOP study

  • 1.1Explain the purpose of the HAZOP study
  • 1.2Review the key steps in undertaking the HAZOP study
  • 1.3Review the HAZOP tools to be used

2 Participate in a HAZOP study

  • 2.1Identify the purpose and operation of the new/modified equipment/process
  • 2.2Determine the normal operating conditions, method of operation and associated equipment and componentry of proposed change
  • 2.3Review relevant information to assist in the identification of possible problems
  • 2.4Process available information to identify potential hazards or operability issues
  • 2.5Identify potential hazards or operability issues and possible consequences utilising key words
  • 2.6Assess the risks arising from identified potential hazards or operability issues
  • 2.7Identify items needing further action
  • 2.8Review relevant operating and safety procedures
  • 2.9Recommend possible solutions to minimise risk of proposed change

3 Complete delegated actions within scope of responsibility

  • 3.1Perform delegated actions within area of responsibility
  • 3.2Follow initiated items through until final resolution has occurred
  • 3.3Identify problems needing further action
  • 3.4Determine possible fault causes within area of responsibility
  • 3.5Report outcomes to designated person

Performance evidence

  • analyse schematics and other sources of information to identify actual and/or potential hazards and recognise conditions that might lead to operability issues
  • utilise key words in the identification of potential hazards or operability issues
  • identify possible consequences and asses risks from identified potential hazards and operability issues
  • recommend possible solutions
  • complete actions delegated from the HAZOP
  • communicate effectively with multi-disciplinary stakeholders.

Knowledge evidence

  • the architecture and location of the process/production equipment
  • specific plant process operations
  • interactions between plant items/processes
  • product specifications and tolerances
  • systems operating parameters
  • system integrity limits
  • process control philosophies and strategies
  • emergency shutdown procedures
  • science (e.g. physics, chemistry and biochemistry) relevant to process and materials
  • impact of external factors (e.g. variations in weather and feed)
  • process drawings (e.g. piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), process flow diagrams (PFDs), and cause and effect)
  • basis of control for the plant/s
  • instrumentation and control systems, components and loops as they relate to the modification under review
  • impacts of changing process/production equipment settings and the limits within which changes can be made
  • organisation procedures
  • work health and safety (WHS), hazardous substances and environmental requirements
  • enterprise standard operating procedures, plant processes and equipment for area under review
  • duty of care obligations
  • hierarchy of control.

Questions about assessing PMASUP445

What does an assessment tool for PMASUP445 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMASUP445 needs to address all 42 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 19 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 PMASUP445?

Auditori pulls the current release of PMASUP445 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 PMASUP445 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing PMASUP445 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 PMASUP445, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
