What an assessment for RIIARO305 must cover

36 assessable components: 4 elements (21 performance criteria), 4 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 build and maintain routes for autonomous operations

  • 1.1Obtain, interpret, confirm and clarify work instructions
  • 1.2Identify and confirm autonomous systems and components involved in work activity

  • 1.6Select and obtain tools and equipment required for work activity in proximity to autonomous systems and components
  • 1.7Obtain permits and clearances according to job and site requirements
  • 1.8Identify potential risks and hazards, implement control measures within scope of own role, and escalate where required
  • 1.9Obtain and interpret emergency procedures and identify steps required to respond to emergencies
  • 1.10Coordinate and communicate planned activities with other personnel in work area according to site requirements

2 Establish and review routes for autonomous operations

  • 2.1Identify requirements for, and implement personal protective zone according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
  • 2.2Visually inspect geology, survey site and document results and site parameters for planned autonomous operations according to manufacturer specifications and job and site requirements
  • 2.3Monitor risks and hazards, implement control measures within scope of own role, and escalate where required
  • 2.4Coordinate work activities within scope of own role and communicate to others
  • 2.5Establish travel path for autonomous system in consultation with required personnel according to manufacturer specifications and job and site requirements
  • 2.6Review autonomous system travel path design in consultation with required personnel, confirm virtual site parameters reflect physical site parameters, and adjust or escalate where required

3 Monitor and adjust routes for autonomous operations

  • 3.1Monitor operations on autonomous system travel path design according to manufacturer specifications, job, scope of own role and site requirements
  • 3.2Review safety, efficiency and effectiveness of autonomous system travel path and adjust design or escalate where required

4 Conduct housekeeping activities

  • 4.1Complete records and documentation according to site requirements
  • 4.2Report potential risks and hazards according to site requirements and escalate where required
  • 4.3Identify opportunities to optimise safety, efficiency and effectiveness of autonomous operations within scope of own role, and escalate where required

Performance evidence

  • build and maintain routes for autonomous operations on at least two occasions.
  • locate and apply documentation, policies and procedures required to build and maintain routes for autonomous operations
  • implement the requirements, procedures and techniques to build and maintain routes for autonomous operations, including: interpreting and applying required documentation, including: geological and survey data, manufacturer specifications, site and work plans, work health and safety requirements; monitoring and confirming safe interaction with autonomous systems and components; identifying, monitoring and reporting risks and hazards; responding to or reporting on monitoring systems and alarms
  • work with others to build and maintain routes for autonomous operations 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; planning and coordinating work activity with key operational, technical and supervisory personnel.

Knowledge evidence

  • legislation required to build and maintain routes for autonomous operations
  • policies, procedures and documentation required to build and maintain routes for autonomous operations, including those relating to: Australian and international standards for autonomous systems; autonomous system and component manufacturer specifications; hazard, incident and emergency response procedures; hierarchy road rules; workplace recording and reporting requirements; site safety signage, alarms and systems; work health and safety; obtaining permits and clearances; site 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; braking and stopping distances, including for: loaded and unloaded states, different environmental conditions; sensing modalities
  • principles and techniques for risk and hazard management in autonomous environments, including those relating to: adverse operating conditions for autonomous systems and components; geotechnical risks including slumping, cracking and highwall failures; limitations of electrical sensory and digital communication systems
  • techniques for building and maintaining routes for autonomous operations, including those for: interpreting and applying geological and survey data; reviewing virtual site parameters against physical site parameters; surveying and documenting site parameters; using global positioning systems
  • roles and responsibilities of personnel in the autonomous environment value chain, including those relating to: budget; product quality; productivity; safety; interdependencies with other roles
  • 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.

Foundation skills

  • Numeracy: Calculates basic measurements including mass and dimensions
  • Technology: Uses digital technologies and applications to access, organise and share information
  • Writing: Completes maintenance records using sector specific vocabulary, grammatical structures and conventions

Questions about assessing RIIARO305

What does an assessment tool for RIIARO305 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIARO305 needs to address all 36 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 4 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 RIIARO305?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIARO305 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 RIIARO305 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIARO305 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 RIIARO305, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
