What an assessment for RIIBLA203E must cover
69 assessable components: 5 elements (34 performance criteria), 16 performance evidence and 17 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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.

3 Transport explosives precursors to delivery point
- 3.1Confirm and follow pre-planned transport route
- 3.2Drive vehicle or unit according to road conditions, established mine traffic rules, and public traffic rules
- 3.3Operate vehicle or unit in line with licences and regulations in the relevant jurisdiction, and workplace procedures
- 3.4Identify and report potential emergency situations
4 Deliver explosives in blast hole
- 4.1Assess ground conditions and confirm their suitability prior to commencing delivery of explosives
- 4.2Select most appropriate hole discharge point and locate delivery point over blast hole
- 4.3Confirm identity of blast hole and explosive loading requirements with relevant personnel
- 4.4Regulate discharge of explosives to blast hole to achieve specified weight or stemming height
- 4.5Complete loading hole and prepare vehicle or unit for next blast hole
- 4.6Check area is clear and safe to move vehicle
5 Complete activity and store equipment
- 5.1Complete delivery of required product
- 5.2Flush delivery system according to workplace procedures
- 5.3Safely exit blast site
- 5.4Store vehicle or unit safely and securely in accordance with workplace procedures and legislative requirements
- 5.5Complete and file documentation, and distribute according to workplace requirements
Performance evidence
- The candidate must demonstrate completion of mobile mixing of explosives that safely, effectively and efficiently follows legislative requirements and workplace procedures to meet required outcomes on at least two occasions. This includes:
- preparing for blasting operations
- performing pre-start and shutdown checks
- handling, loading and transporting explosives precursors and explosives
- mixing explosives
- delivering explosives into blast hole
- performing cup weight density checks and confirming that measurements are to specification.
- locate and apply required documentation, policies and procedures
- drive and operate mobile processing units in line with site conditions
- identify common equipment faults
- calibrate vehicle or unit where applicable
- maintain security of explosives precursors
- operate emergency shutdown systems
- select and wear personal protective equipment required by work activities
- use a spill kit
- apply safe work practices.
Knowledge evidence
- Key policies and procedures, state and territory legislation, codes of practice, and requirements when conducting the mobile mixing described in the performance evidence above, including those relating to:
- fires, accidents and emergencies
- personal protective equipment and safety equipment
- separation of incompatible goods prior to loading mobile processing unit (MPU)
- decontamination of units
- security of explosives precursors
- safety data sheets
- authorities to operate an MPU.
- Key factors affecting work activities described in performance evidence above, including:
- differences between above and underground mobile mixing units
- types, properties, and hazards of explosives precursors and products manufactured
- purpose of density checks and outcomes of manufacturing out-of-specification explosives
- carrying capacity of MPUs being used in the performance evidence above
- mixing parameters and ratios of explosives precursors
- incompatible precursors and methods of segregation
- configuration, accessories and working parts of MPUs
- MPU loading equipment and methods.
Foundation skills
- Reading: Identifies and interprets relevant information and ideas from workplace procedures, documentation, legislation, and regulations
- Numeracy: Identifies and comprehends mathematical information required to load, mix, and deliver explosives precursors

Questions about assessing RIIBLA203E
What does an assessment tool for RIIBLA203E need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIBLA203E needs to address all 69 unit components: 5 elements with 34 performance criteria, 16 performance evidence requirements, 17 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 RIIBLA203E?
Auditori pulls the current release of RIIBLA203E 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 RIIBLA203E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing RIIBLA203E 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 RIIBLA203E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
