What an assessment for RIISRM304E must cover
40 assessable components: 3 elements (21 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 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 to maintain stockpiles
- 1.1Obtain, interpret and confirm work requirements
- 1.2Access, interpret and apply stockpiling operations documentation and confirm the work activity is compliant
- 1.3Obtain and interpret geological and survey data
- 1.4Select and wear personal protective equipment according to site requirements
- 1.5Identify potential hazards and environmental issues, implement control measures within scope of own role and escalate where required
- 1.6Communicate work activities with others within scope of own role
- 1.7Confirm stockpile boundaries and signage are erected
- 1.8Access and apply safety procedures throughout the work and confirm safety of personnel, plant and equipment according to site requirements
2 Supress dust and maintain stockpile integrity, access roads and bunds
- 2.1Dump and move stockpile material to maintain appropriate battering angle of stockpile and prevent slumping according to site and job requirements
- 2.2Inspect stockpile structure and surrounding area with visual checks to assess the safety and progress of stockpile formation
- 2.3Inform appropriate personnel of any spillage and manage according to site and job requirements
- 2.4Identify, remove and dispose of any contaminants from stockpile
- 2.5Turn stockpile material according to site and job requirements
- 2.6Maintain stockpile structure to prevent dust creation and unwanted material movement
- 2.7Adjust stockpiling activities according to weather conditions and dust suppression policy
- 2.8Maintain stockpile access roads free from spillages and obstructions, and confirm equipment movement to and from stockpiles is not restricted according to site requirements
- 2.9Maintain safety and condition of bunds according to site requirements
3 Carry out post-operational procedures for maintaining stockpiles
- 3.1Conduct inspection and fault finding according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
- 3.2Carry out operational maintenance, servicing, lubricating and housekeeping tasks according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
- 3.3Inspect structures and components with visual checks for fault conditions, wear and need of repair or replacement
- 3.4Process written records and reports according to site requirements
Performance evidence
- maintain stockpiles on at least two occasions, including: inspecting and preparing work areas, identifying hazards and implementing hazard control measures, confirming and implementing barriers and signage, carrying out inspection of stockpiles and surrounding areas, dumping and moving stockpile materials, maintaining stockpile structure and battering angle.
- locate and apply relevant documentation, policies and procedures
- implement the requirements, procedures and techniques to maintain stockpiles, including: interpreting and applying work instructions, selecting and using required tools and equipment, wearing required personal protective equipment, accessing, interpreting and applying technical information, identifying and applying diagnostic techniques
- work effectively with others to undertake and complete maintenance of stockpiles to meet required outcomes, including: preparing for and organising work activities to meet task requirements, using communication techniques required to convey information to others, maintaining written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures, communicating to others of work activity and exclusion zones.
Knowledge evidence
- legislative requirements for maintaining stockpiles
- policies, procedures and documentation required to maintain stockpiles, including those relating to: bund construction, drainage and stockpile maintenance, environmental protection, requirements and constraints, fire, accident and emergency, hazardous goods, personal protective equipment, site operational, quality and communication requirements, site product characteristics, stockpile management, stockpile safety, including signage requirements, wet and dry working, work health and safety
- techniques and procedures for equipment required to maintain stockpiles, including for: pre-start and start-up, operation, maintenance, including lubricating and servicing, shutdown, housekeeping, emergency signals
- characteristics, requirements, technical capabilities and limitations of plant and equipment required for stockpiling
- geotechnical risks associated with working around stockpiles
- types of risks and hazards involved in maintaining stockpiles, including those relating to spills
- techniques for interpreting: geological and survey data, stockpile indicator readings
- principles of contamination
- bund construction, drainage and stockpile maintenance procedures
- appropriate battering angles of stockpiles and methods to prevent slumping.
Foundation skills
- Numeracy: Calculates basic measurements including mass and dimensions
- Oral communication: Conveys information and requirements clearly and listens actively
- Reading: Identifies and interprets information from workplace documentation
- Self-management: Monitors and minimises own exposure to worksite risks and hazards during activities
- Writing: Completes maintenance records using sector specific vocabulary, grammatical structures and conventions

Questions about assessing RIISRM304E
What does an assessment tool for RIISRM304E need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIISRM304E needs to address all 40 unit components: 3 elements with 21 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 RIISRM304E?
Auditori pulls the current release of RIISRM304E 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 RIISRM304E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing RIISRM304E 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 RIISRM304E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
