DEFWHS010 — Identify confined space

1 Recognise a confined space

• 1.1Select and don required personal protective equipment (PPE) to identify a confined space
• 1.2Review nature of the possible work space and its characteristics
• 1.3Assess possible work space for its potential to be a confined space
• 1.4Determine precautions to be taken in the presence of a harmful atmosphere
• 1.5Identify and assess other hazards and factors associated with the possible work space to determine the level of risk associated with that space
• 1.6Refer identified hazards to appropriate personnel/authority for further investigation and analysis, where uncertainty exists about confined space potential
• 1.7Confirm safety of possible workspace

2 Carry out appropriate action after identifying a confined space

• 2.1Identify and document potential WHS issues
• 2.2Undertake, document and revise risk assessment, whenever there is evidence to indicate that it is no longer valid
• 2.3Document broad limitations the confined space may impose on work practices

What does an assessment tool for DEFWHS010 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for DEFWHS010 needs to address all 19 unit components: 2 elements with 10 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 4 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 DEFWHS010?

Auditori pulls the current release of DEFWHS010 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 DEFWHS010 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing DEFWHS010 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 DEFWHS010, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
