What an assessment for RIIARO301 must cover

32 assessable components: 2 elements (18 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 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 to work safely in proximity to autonomous systems and components

  • 1.1Obtain, interpret, confirm and clarify work instructions
  • 1.2Identify and confirm autonomous systems and components in proximity to work activity
  • 1.3Access, interpret and apply documentation required to work safely in proximity to autonomous systems and components and confirm work activity is compliant
  • 1.4Select and wear personal protective equipment according to site requirements
  • 1.5Select and obtain tools and equipment required for work activity in proximity to autonomous systems and components
  • 1.6Obtain permits and clearances according to job and site requirements
  • 1.7Identify potential risks and hazards, implement control measures within scope of own role, and escalate where required
  • 1.8Obtain and interpret emergency procedures and identify steps required to respond to emergencies

2 Carry out work activity in proximity to autonomous systems and components

  • 2.1Carry out pre-start checks according to site requirements
  • 2.2Check and confirm work area is in safe proximity to autonomous systems and components according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
  • 2.3Enter designated work area according to autonomous system and component manufacturer specifications and site requirements
  • 2.4Coordinate designated work activities within scope of own role and communicate with others
  • 2.5Carry out work activity in required proximity to autonomous systems and components
  • 2.6Monitor risks and hazards, implement control measures within scope of own role, and escalate where required
  • 2.7Report on monitoring systems and alarms according to site requirements and respond within scope of own role, and escalate where required
  • 2.8Complete designated work activity according to job requirement
  • 2.9Exit work area according to autonomous system and component manufacturer specifications and site requirements
  • 2.10Complete records and documentation according to site requirements

Performance evidence

  • carry out work activity in proximity to autonomous systems and components on at least two occasions.
  • implement the requirements, procedures and techniques to work safely in autonomous environments, including: interpreting and applying work health and safety requirements and work instructions; identifying and confirming autonomous systems and components in proximity to work activity; checking and confirming required proximity to autonomous systems and components; identifying, monitoring and reporting risks and hazards; responding to or reporting on monitoring systems and alarms
  • work with others to safely carry out work activity in autonomous environments in a way that meets required outcomes, including: communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions and convey work progress; coordinating work activity with others using multiple communication devices.

Knowledge evidence

  • legislation required to work safely in autonomous environments
  • policies, procedures and documentation required to work safely in autonomous environments, including those relating to: Australian and international standards for autonomous systems; autonomous systems and component manufacturer specifications; entering and exiting autonomous operating zones; risk management; functional safety standards; hazard, incident and emergency response procedures; hierarchy road rules; obtaining permits and clearances; key operational states relating to autonomous systems; personal protective zones including roles and responsibilities; pre-start procedures as per site requirements; site requirements; site safety signage, alarms and systems; work health and safety; workplace recording and reporting requirements
  • types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations of autonomous systems and components, including: basic operating procedures; digital communications; emergency signals and procedures; exclusion zones; remote stop functionality; safe distances for work activity; system perception and control functionalities
  • key aspects of autonomous equipment interactions in different environmental conditions and load states, including braking and stopping functions
  • principles and techniques for risk and hazard management in autonomous environments, including those relating to: adverse operating conditions for autonomous systems and components; risk management, including risks relating to operator and human machine interface (HMI) fatigue; limitations of electrical sensory and digital communication systems
  • techniques for carrying out work activity in autonomous environments, including those for: determining safe working distances and exclusion zones from autonomous systems and components; identifying abnormal operations of autonomous systems and components; identifying and safely crossing autonomous system paths; using global positioning systems
  • key terminology for autonomous systems, components and operations, including those specific to relevant sector, organisation and manufacturer
  • techniques for coordinating and communicating work activities with others, including use of multiple communication devices.

Foundation skills

  • Oral communication: Uses listening and questioning to clarify and confirm understanding
  • Self-management: Monitors and minimises own exposure to worksite risks and hazards during work activities
  • Technology: Uses digital technologies and applications to access, organise and share information

Questions about assessing RIIARO301

What does an assessment tool for RIIARO301 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIARO301 needs to address all 32 unit components: 2 elements with 18 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 RIIARO301?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIARO301 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 RIIARO301 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIARO301 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 RIIARO301, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
