What an assessment for CPCWHS3001 must cover
39 assessable components: 3 elements (18 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 16 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 and prepare.
- 1.1Review job task, work site and compliance requirements.
- 1.2Select and use personal protective equipment (PPE) for each part of the task.
- 1.3Inspect work site and identify hazards relevant to job task.
- 1.4Determine and record level of risk for each identified hazard.
2 Prepare and implement job safety analysis (JSA).
- 2.1Review requirements of work health and safety legislation for preparation of job safety analysis (JSA) using template.
- 2.2Break job task into logical steps, determine tools, equipment, plant and materials to be used for each step, and record on JSA.
- 2.3Identify work site and task-related hazards and levels of risk relating to each step, and record on JSA.
- 2.4Apply hierarchy of controls to determine risk control strategies for each hazard in each step of the job task, discuss and confirm with relevant personnel, and record on JSA.
- 2.5Review work site and job task immediately before starting work and discuss JSA with relevant personnel to confirm as still applicable, or to amend as required.
- 2.6Store JSA securely on site in accordance with compliance requirements.
3 Prepare and implement safe work method statement (SWMS) for high risk work.
- 3.1Review requirements of work health and safety legislation for preparation of safe work method statements (SWMS).
- 3.2Determine work site conditions and job task requirements.
- 3.3Determine and record high-risk work site and task hazards relevant to job task.
- 3.4Break job task into logical steps, determine tools, equipment and materials to be used for each step, and record on SWMS.
- 3.5Identify high-risk work site and task-related hazards and levels of risk relating to each step, and record on SWMS.
- 3.6Apply hierarchy of controls to determine risk control strategies for each high-risk hazard in each step of the job task, discuss and confirm with relevant personnel, and record on SWMS.
- 3.7Review work site and job task immediately before starting work and discuss SWMS with relevant personnel to confirm as still applicable, or to amend as required.
- 3.8Store SWMS securely on site in accordance with compliance requirements.
Performance evidence
- developing, in consultation with relevant personnel, two Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for general hazards. Each JSA should be for a different job task and on a different work site
- revising a JSA prior to starting work, identifying changed conditions and where appropriate, amending the JSA to reflect changed hazards and risk control strategies
- developing, in consultation with relevant personnel, two Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) for high-risk work. Each SWMS should be for a different job task and on a different work site.
- revising a SWMS prior to starting work, identifying changed conditions and where appropriate, amending the SWMS to reflect changed hazards and risk control strategies.
- All work must be performed to the standard required in the workplace and must meet the requirements of work health and safety (WHS), the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, Commonwealth and state or territory legislation, manufacturers’ specifications, and environmental plans and obligations.
Knowledge evidence
- Australian standards, industry guidelines, National Construction Code requirements, and codes of practice, including the Model Code of Practice for Construction Work when identifying construction site hazards and selecting risk control strategies
- format and content requirements for JSAs and SWMSs:
- environmental requirements
- public health and safety requirements
- WHS requirements, including safe operating procedures
- safety data sheets (SDS)
- taking into account other work going on near the work area
- common hazards and causes of incidents and near misses on construction sites
- compliance requirements in relation to identified job tasks and work sites
- construction hand and power tools, and equipment relevant to the identified job tasks, and requirements for their safe handling and operation
- processes for preparing SWMSs for high risk work in the construction industry:
- principles and application of the hierarchy of controls
- purpose and application of SDS when working with different materials
- risk management strategies relevant to identified job tasks specified in the performance evidence
- types of construction methods and materials used in both general hazards and high-risk construction work and risk factors inherent in their use and application
- use and meaning of construction terminology used on construction work sites relevant to identifying site hazards and selecting suitable risk control strategies.

Questions about assessing CPCWHS3001
What does an assessment tool for CPCWHS3001 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCWHS3001 needs to address all 39 unit components: 3 elements with 18 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 16 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 CPCWHS3001?
Auditori pulls the current release of CPCWHS3001 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 CPCWHS3001 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing CPCWHS3001 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 CPCWHS3001, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
