RIIHAN209E — Perform basic rigging

1 Plan basic rigging operations

• 1.1Access, interpret and apply rigging documentation to ensure the work activity is compliant
• 1.2Obtain, interpret, clarify and confirm work requirements
• 1.3Write preliminary rigging plan and site sketch considering information essential to perform work activity
• 1.4Confirm job feasibility and schedule work activity with the client, the load designer, and other relevant persons to perform the work activity
• 1.5Identify hazards associated with the use of load moving equipment and review measures to eliminate or control these hazards with appropriate parties and in line with standard operating procedures
• 1.6Calculate and confirm safe working loads and centre gravity using load charts and standard calculation rules prior to load moving
• 1.7Finalise and confirm rigging plan, including the scheduling of required resources
• 1.8Check safety requirements for rigging operations are in accordance with safety plans and policies
• 1.9Select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities
• 1.10Identify and display signage, and erect barricades to isolate the work area in line with workplace procedures

• 2.2Confirm lifting equipment is appropriate and safe to perform work activity according to manufacturer’s guidelines, engineering specifications and organisational policies and procedures
• 2.3Label and dispose of lifting equipment identified as inconsistent with manufacturer’s guidelines, engineering specifications and organisational policies and procedures
• 2.4Prepare loads and slings, ensuring protection of the load and associated equipment
• 2.5Secure whole or part loads to prevent uncontrolled movement
• 2.6Attach and position slings, or parts of slings, to the load, ensuring safe movement and attach slings, or parts of slings, to hook while the hoist wire is vertical in line with safe work practices
• 2.7Attach tag lines to the load where specified within work requirements, and according to workplace procedures
• 2.8Confirm lifting gear is attached to load to Australian standards, manufacturer’s guidelines, engineering specifications and organisational policies and procedures
• 2.9Perform test lifts, ensuring stable and secure movement of loads

3 Move loads using basic rigging techniques and relevant equipment to complete work activity

• 3.1Connect lifting gear to load to Australian standards, manufacturer’s guidelines, engineering specifications and organisational policies and procedures
• 3.2Connect load to movement device using appropriate and certified equipment
• 3.3Stabilise loads by application of load movement procedures, temporary bracing and/or by installing or erecting load support appropriate to the work activity
• 3.4Coordinate and communicate planned activities, including using load moving signals according to workplace procedures
• 3.5Move loads in line with work activity, workplace procedures and working safely at heights as appropriate to the work environment
• 3.6Place and secure loads in line with load designer specifications to complete work activity
• 3.7Dismantle and remove or restore load shifting equipment in a manner that complies with safe work practices

4 Conduct housekeeping activities

• 4.1Clean, check, maintain and store plant, tools and equipment according to workplace procedures
• 4.2Clear work area and dispose of or recycle materials according to workplace procedures
• 4.3Notify appropriate personnel of work completion
• 4.4Complete and file documentation and distribute according to workplace requirements

What does an assessment tool for RIIHAN209E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIHAN209E needs to address all 87 unit components: 4 elements with 30 performance criteria, 47 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 RIIHAN209E?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIHAN209E 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 RIIHAN209E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIHAN209E 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 RIIHAN209E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
