1 Plan and prepare to establish and maintain underground mining ground control and stable mining systems

• 1.1Access, interpret and apply underground mining ground control and stable mining systems documentation and ensure the work activity is compliant
• 1.2Obtain, read, interpret, clarify and confirm work requirements
• 1.3Identify and address potential risks, hazards and environmental issues and implement control measures
• 1.4Select and wear personal protective equipment appropriate for work activities
• 1.5Identify, collect, access and interpret mine survey data
• 1.6Identify and record the necessary resources required to create and maintain a stable mining structure
• 1.7Identify, access and interpret mine survey data and historical information
• 1.8Identify, assess and record all possible mining structure failure modes relevant to the mine site
• 1.9Establish the criteria for establishing the quantitative stability of mining structures

2 Identify and evaluate geological and geotechnical information

• 2.1Access, identify, interpret and evaluate exploration techniques
• 2.2Access, identify, interpret and evaluate geological structures

• 2.4Identify, interpret and evaluate hanging wall, foot wall, ore body characteristics and physical properties
• 2.5Identify, interpret and evaluate stress regimes

3 Identify and evaluate mining engineering principles and practices

• 3.1Investigate, identify, interpret and evaluate types of mining system and methods
• 3.2Identify and assess layouts for stable mining structures from engineering analysis
• 3.3Identify, interpret and evaluate mining constraints impacting on the development of a stable mining structure
• 3.4Identify, interpret and evaluate equipment requirements

4 Identify and evaluate control options

• 4.1Investigate, identify, interpret and evaluate ground support systems
• 4.2Identify, interpret and evaluate ground support installation, monitoring and assessment systems
• 4.3Identify, interpret and evaluate causes and impacts of failure mechanisms
• 4.4Identify, interpret and evaluate natural and induced stress control methods

5 Establish ground control and stable mining systems

• 5.1Design and establish exploration programs identifying geological features and characteristics impacting on mining operations
• 5.2Investigate and design safe access and egress systems Design and establish mining systems
• 5.3Design and establish sequences for mining operations
• 5.4Design and establish system specifications and documentation
• 5.5Establish a program, including systems and procedures to satisfy identified training requirements
• 5.6Establish emergency response and evacuation plans and procedures
• 5.7Identify, confirm, establish and implement safe operating procedures

6 Audit and review the effectiveness of ground control and stable mining systems

• 6.1Audit stable structure standards
• 6.2Audit mine survey data
• 6.3Audit monitoring systems
• 6.4Audit recording systems
• 6.5Audit system maintenance program and procedures
• 6.6Audit emergency procedures and plans
• 6.7Audit the stable mining structure training program for currency and relevance
• 6.8Audit emergency response and evacuation plans and procedures
• 6.9Identify and assess future site mining requirements and standards and incorporate into the planning procedures
• 6.10Establish procedures for response to non-compliance or other discrepancies/deficiencies revealed by audit

What does an assessment tool for RIIMEX603D need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIMEX603D needs to address all 53 unit components: 6 elements with 39 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 RIIMEX603D?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIMEX603D 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 RIIMEX603D — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIMEX603D 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 RIIMEX603D, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
