What an assessment for RIIHAN208D must cover
51 assessable components: 4 elements (24 performance criteria), 16 performance evidence and 9 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.
Elements & performance criteria
1 Plan and prepare for dogging

- 1.7Finalise and confirm dogging plan, including the scheduling of required resources
- 1.8Identify and implement signage and/or barricading requirements
2 Prepare dogging equipment
- 2.1Identify, select, inspect, and verify as serviceable dogging equipment, materials and tools required for the plan
- 2.2Label for repair or disposal unserviceable equipment, materials and tools
- 2.3Communicate and coordinate job sequencing schedule with team
- 2.4Calculate load mass and centre of gravity using load charts and standard calculations
- 2.5Calculate load in slings and equipment to suit job requirements
3 Move loads
- 3.1Perform load moving in accordance with the plan and acceptable safe work practices, standards and codes and specifications
- 3.2Perform work safely at heights, within uncompleted structures and/or in confined and enclosed spaces
- 3.3Connect lifting gear to load
- 3.4Connect load to movement device using appropriate and certified equipment in accordance with relevant standards
- 3.5Ensure stability of the load by application of load movement procedure, temporary bracing and/or load support appropriate to the task
- 3.6Follow appropriate designer’s specifications during the placement and securing of the load
- 3.7Direct load to landing position using communication compliant with Australian standards and site procedures
4 Clean up
- 4.1Dismantle and inspect load shifting equipment
- 4.2Clear work area of materials by disposing, reusing or recycling
- 4.3Check, clean, maintain and store tools and equipment
- 4.4Apply work completion procedures, notify personnel of work completion
Performance evidence
- locates and applies relevant documentation, policies and procedures
- implements the requirements, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient completion of the performance of dogging through:
- reading work load limit tags
- using ropes as tag lines
- using ropes to connect to loads using each of the following knot types: Clover Hitch, Rolling Hitch, Single Sheet bend, Bowline
- calculating mass, dimensions and centre of gravity of the load and assessed for lifting requirements
- lifting/slinging points on the load are identified and correctly used
- clearing work area of materials by disposing, reusing or recycling on completion of the work
- works effectively with others to undertake and perform dogging that meets all of the required outcomes through:
- communicating hazards and determining elimination or control of hazards
- coordinating lifting sequence with others
- reporting work completion to relevant personnel
- demonstrates completion of dogging that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
- write a preliminary dogging plan which must include the following points in detail: confirmed details of dogging requirements, confirmed dimensions, site access and egress, suitability and availability of materials, tools and equipment, identification of potential hazards, probable control measures, identification of site coordination requirements
- selecting and conducting pre and post operational inspection on equipment including: lifting equipment, personal protective equipment, communication equipment
- move load in conjunction with crane/hoist including demonstrating the following for loads of varying weight, size and shape: slinging the load, loading, directing the crane/hoist operator in the movement of a load when the load is out of the view of the crane/hoist operator, directing the crane/hoist operator in the movement of a load when the load is in view of the crane/hoist operator, directing the crane/hoist operator in the landing of a load when the load is out of the view of the crane/hoist operator, directing the crane/hoist operator in the landing of a load when the load is in view of the crane/hoist operator
Knowledge evidence
- National Standard for High Risk Work for dogging
- code of practice
- designs and functions of lifting equipment
- signaling methods and communications
- appropriate national certification standards
- site and equipment safety requirements
- equipment characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations
- operational and maintenance procedures
- potential hazards
Foundation skills
- Reading: Identifies and interprets relevant information from workplace procedures, documentation, legislation and regulations
- Numeracy: Identifies and comprehends relevant mathematical information in required to determine equipment operating capacities

Questions about assessing RIIHAN208D
What does an assessment tool for RIIHAN208D need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIHAN208D needs to address all 51 unit components: 4 elements with 24 performance criteria, 16 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 RIIHAN208D?
Auditori pulls the current release of RIIHAN208D 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 RIIHAN208D — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing RIIHAN208D 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 RIIHAN208D, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
