What an assessment for RIIMEX303 must cover

35 assessable components: 3 elements (17 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 11 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 assessment of ground conditions

1.1Obtain, interpret and confirm work requirements
1.2Access, interpret and apply documentation and procedures required for conducting local geotechnical risk control in surface operations
1.3Select and wear personal protective equipment according to site requirements
1.4Confirm the work areas to be inspected and assessed
1.5Obtain and interpret existing information on ground conditions and hazards according to site requirements
1.6Identify key pit design features and associated hazards
1.7Discuss and address potential hazards and environmental factors with relevant personnel and identify potential control measures
1.8Identify and understand the ground control management plan within scope of own role
1.9Obtain and interpret emergency procedures and identify steps required to respond to emergencies according to site requirements

2 Inspect, assess and implement ground condition controls

2.1Inspect and assess ground conditions and implement controls
2.2Conduct an assessment of the work areas to confirm stability and record findings
2.3Implement appropriate controls to make safe or to maintain stable ground conditions in accordance with job role and workplace procedures
2.4Install barricades and warning signs where area cannot be made safe according to job and site requirements and report to relevant personnel
2.5Monitor and assess ground conditions during work activities according to site requirements

3 Record and report ground conditions, and conduct housekeeping activities

3.1Record and report ground conditions and corrective actions to relevant personnel according to workplace procedures
3.2Report potential hazards to relevant personnel according to workplace procedures
3.3Clean, maintain and inspect equipment according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements, and address and report any issues to relevant personnel

Performance evidence

conduct local geotechnical risk control in surface operations on at least two occasions, including: identifying ground conditions, including stable and unstable ground; identifying key pit design features; identifying and understanding the requirements of the ground control management plan relevant to own job role; selecting and using tools, equipment and techniques for the inspection of ground conditions; identifying and inspecting work areas for geotechnical hazards, including: ground deformation, blocky ground, structure, subsidence, open cracks, water, loss of catch capacity, rock fall, overhanging walls; communicating geotechnical risks to relevant personnel; identifying and clarifying the location that requires ground controls and installing barricades.
locate and apply relevant documentation, policies and procedures and confirm that the work activity is compliant
implement the requirements, procedures and techniques for conducting local geotechnical risk control in surface operations
working with others to conduct local geotechnical risk control in surface operations
communicate clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify work instructions and to resolve coordination requirements prior to commencing and during work activities.

Knowledge evidence

key policies, procedures and documentation required to conduct local geotechnical risk control in surface operations, including: the ground control management plan; safe operating procedures
principles of basic geology, including: rock types; geological processes; geological structures
common survey and slope design terminology and surface operation design parameters
characteristics, limitations and placement of plant and equipment to reduce exposure to geotechnical hazards, including: exclusion zones; catch troughs; catch bunds; cab placement; safe load and dump methods
principles and techniques for the use of plant and equipment within manufacturer specifications
factors impacting on slope stability, including: material properties; fault zones; blasting; pit wall profile; surface and ground water; changes in ground temperature; presence of underground workings
visual signs of ground instability, including: blocky conditions; adverse jointing; tension cracks; batter movement or deformation; water seepage and infiltrations; rock fall; undercut/overhang
backbreak or underbreak techniques for controlling instability through: excavation control and scaling; waste dump and stockpile formation methodology; groundwater and surface water control
principles and techniques for identifying relevant emergencies
recording and reporting according to workplace procedures
techniques for coordinating and communicating job activities with others.

Foundation skills

Reading: Identifies and interprets information from workplace procedures and documentation
Self-management: Monitors and minimises own exposure to worksite risks and hazards during activities

Questions about assessing RIIMEX303

What does an assessment tool for RIIMEX303 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIMEX303 needs to address all 35 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 RIIMEX303?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIMEX303 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 RIIMEX303 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIMEX303 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 RIIMEX303, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
