What an assessment for CPPFES2003 must cover
36 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 18 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 to move loads and dangerous goods
- 1.1Read work instructions to identify requirements for moving loads and dangerous goods and clarify work tasks with relevant persons.

- 1.6Select and use required personal protective equipment (PPE).
2 Use manual-handling techniques to move loads and materials.
- 2.1Select manual-handling techniques appropriate to the type of loads and materials being moved.
- 2.2Use selected manual-handling techniques to safely move loads and materials according to workplace requirements
3 Use mechanical-handling aids to move loads and materials.
- 3.1Select mechanical-handling aids appropriate to the type of loads and materials being moved.
- 3.2Use selected mechanical-handling aids to safely move loads and materials according to workplace requirements.
- 3.3Inspect and maintain mechanical-handling aids to ensure correct working order according to manufacturer requirements.
- 3.4Report faulty mechanical-handling aids according to workplace requirements.
4 Adhere to regulatory requirements for moving and transporting hazardous or dangerous materials.
- 4.1Move hazardous or dangerous materials in compliance with regulatory and workplace requirements for ODS, SGG and dangerous goods.

Performance evidence
- manually handling at least one class 2.2 container having a minimum water capacity volume of 80 litres from its secured, stored position onto a mechanical-handling aid, typically a trolley fitted with restraining straps, and then relocating the cylinder at least three metres from that position, and removing it from the mechanical-handling aid to a secured location
- safely transporting two gaseous containers using a vehicle in compliance with dangerous goods regulations.
Knowledge evidence
- dangerous goods commonly used in the fire protection industry and key requirements, including: general storage requirements for all dangerous goods
- identification of dangerous goods by diamond-shaped symbol
- requirements for transporting dangerous goods by a vehicle, especially class 2.2 for placarded loads and bulk loads
- storage requirements for gaseous containers, especially those containing ozone depleting substances (ODS) and synthetic greenhouse gases (SGG)
- extinguishing agent handling licence (EAHL) requirements
- handling and storage requirements for scheduled ODS and SGG in accordance with the Fire Protection Industry (ODS &SGG) Board ODS & SGG Good Practice Guide
- manual-handling techniques, including implications of: ignoring safety precautions used with mechanical manual-handling aids
- incorrect manual-lifting techniques
- maximum safe loads for vehicles
- meaning of material handling applied to the role of a service technician
- methods used to prevent ODS and SGG emissions in the workplace
- purpose and structure of relevant dangerous goods legislation, including HAZCHEM signs and emergency information panels
- purpose of hazard identification, hazard assessment and hazard control related to moving loads and dangerous goods
- reasons for preventing ODS and SGG emissions in the workplace

Questions about assessing CPPFES2003
What does an assessment tool for CPPFES2003 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPFES2003 needs to address all 36 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 CPPFES2003?
Auditori pulls the current release of CPPFES2003 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 CPPFES2003 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing CPPFES2003 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 CPPFES2003, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
