What an assessment for CPCCLHS3001 must cover

53 assessable components: 4 elements (24 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 21 knowledge evidence requirements. 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 task.

  • 1.1Review task instructions, consult with relevant persons to seek clarification as required, and obtain relevant workplace information.

  • 1.4Identify workplace and task-specific hazards and determine required risk controls and safety measures and equipment.
  • 1.5Calculate load weight, check that it is within the working load limit (WLL) of the hoist and distribute it in accordance with manufacturer requirements.
  • 1.6Establish required communication methods with relevant persons.
  • 1.7Review emergency procedures in consultation with relevant persons.

2 Select and prepare equipment.

  • 2.1Put risk controls and safety measures and equipment in place in consultation with relevant persons.
  • 2.2Access hoist safely.
  • 2.3Visually check hoist for damage and defects.
  • 2.4Carry out pre-start checks, including checking the hoist logbook and controls.
  • 2.5Carry out operational checks, including testing hoist safety devices and checking for fire extinguisher and other emergency equipment.
  • 2.6Ensure hoist is operating correctly and is free of obstructions.
  • 2.7Check communication equipment, lighting and alarm systems to make sure they are working and fit for use.
  • 2.8Conduct test run of hoist, check for abnormal noises and shut down, tag and report identified abnormalities as required.
  • 2.9Isolate, report, tag out and record defective equipment.

3 Conduct hoist operations.

  • 3.1Maintain communication with relevant persons during hoist operations and emergency situations.
  • 3.2Operate loaded hoist in accordance with manufacturer requirements.
  • 3.3Use and interpret communication signals.
  • 3.4Conduct emergency lowering in accordance with manufacturer requirements.

4 Shut down and secure hoist.

  • 4.1Shut down hoist in accordance with manufacturer requirements.
  • 4.2Carry out shut-down checks.
  • 4.3Isolate and secure power against unauthorised access.
  • 4.4Report, tag out, isolate and record damages and defects.

Performance evidence

  • check relevant workplace information, including safe work method statements (SWMSs), and equipment service and maintenance records and checklists
  • perform all activities in compliance with safe work practices and workplace-specific procedures and policies
  • check, use, maintain and store equipment in compliance with manufacturer requirements
  • identify hazards and use appropriate risk controls and safety measures and equipment
  • calculate load weights and confirm that they are within the capacity of the hoist
  • check and use safety devices
  • move load
  • implement shut-down procedures

Knowledge evidence

  • safe work requirements for operating a personnel and materials hoist crane under Australian Standards, and Commonwealth and state or territory work health and safety (WHS) legislation and codes of practice
  • workplace information, including legislative requirements covered by: SWMSs, safety data sheets (SDSs), permits and certifications
  • information about equipment: service and maintenance checklists and records, manufacturer specifications and manuals
  • workplace procedures, including emergency plans and incident reporting
  • hazard identification and mitigation strategies, including the hierarchy of control: elimination, substitution, isolation, engineering controls, administrative controls, use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • hazards commonly encountered in hoist operations: ground instability, obstructions, impact of other tasks being performed in the workplace, other plant, hoist overload, hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods, electrical hazards, insufficient lighting, hazardous manual tasks, damaged or poor-quality equipment, pedestrian traffic, wind and other adverse weather conditions, falling objects, falls from heights
  • risk controls and equipment: firefighting equipment, safety tags on electrical switches and isolators, traffic barricades and controls, pedestrian barricades and controls
  • hoist safety devices, including: hoist safety gates and guards, hoist safety interlocks, adequate illumination
  • testing and tagging requirements and electrical hazards associated with power supply for hoists
  • processes to prevent interference to and from radio equipment being used near a personnel and materials hoist
  • PPE: hard hat, safety boots, gloves, high-visibility clothing, breathing, hearing, sight, skin and sun protection
  • relevant persons: other hoist operators, riggers, maintenance personnel, supervisors
  • communication equipment: two-way radios, intercoms, bells, lights
  • pre-start operational checks to ensure: safe access and egress, including ground conditions; security and safe distance between tower ties; earth leakage protection of power supply; power leads are secured above ground level and not attached to scaffolds or building structure; tower guides are clean and free of rust and damage; signage is clearly displayed and legible; brakes and drive mechanism are in good working order; overhead protection; intercom and signalling systems are in good working order; barriers, fencing and gates are in place; lubrication has been applied where required; hoist rope, where used, is safe; sheaves and anchorage points are accessible; obstructions have been removed; loose gear and equipment have been removed
  • processes for determining the weight of the load from labels, markings and load paperwork
  • processes for identifying and interpreting the working load limit (WLL) of hoists
  • routine problems encountered in the operation of a hoist, and inspection techniques and adjustments required for correction
  • processes for responding to unplanned and unsafe situations, including equipment failure or loss of control and adverse weather conditions
  • emergency and evacuation procedures, including fire procedures
  • shut-down procedures: position platform at designated parking level; isolate power from control panel; isolate and secure mains power supply; remove key from control panel; secure landing gates to prevent unauthorised access; secure fencing and barriers around base to prevent unauthorised access
  • hoist characteristics, capabilities and operation to suit loads of different shapes, sizes and weights

Questions about assessing CPCCLHS3001

What does an assessment tool for CPCCLHS3001 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCLHS3001 needs to address all 53 unit components: 4 elements with 24 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 21 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 CPCCLHS3001?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCLHS3001 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 CPCCLHS3001 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCLHS3001 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 CPCCLHS3001, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
