What an assessment for MEM11023 must cover

56 assessable components: 5 elements (37 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 10 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 Determine job requirements

1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Obtain load transfer authorisation, including lift time and load destination

2 Plan work

2.1Identify potential hazards for load lift and transfer
2.2Identify hazard control measures consistent with appropriate standards to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment
2.3Estimate weight (mass) of the load in consultation with associated personnel
2.4Determine appropriate paths for the movement of loads in the work area
2.5Check crane capacity to the load, as appropriate
2.6Identify appropriate communication methods with associated personnel

3 Conduct routine checks

3.1Apply appropriate hazard prevention/control measures to the work area according to procedures
3.2Access crane in a safe manner
3.3Check crane visually for any damage or defects
3.4Ensure all signage and labels are visible and legible according to the appropriate standard
3.5Carry out routine pre-operational crane checks according to SOPs
3.6Locate and identify all controls
3.7Check crane service logbook for compliance
3.8Start crane and check for any abnormalities according to SOPs
3.9Test crane safety devices according to SOPs
3.10Carry out post-start operational checks according to SOPs
3.11Check all communication equipment for serviceability
3.12Report all damage and defects and record according to SOPs, and take appropriate action

4 Transfer loads

4.1Position hoist block over load following directions from associated personnel
4.2Carry out test lift according to SOPs
4.3Transfer loads along planned path
4.4Ensure all crane movements are according to SOPs and the appropriate standard
4.5Interpret communication signals according to SOPs and the appropriate standard
4.6Operate crane according to SOPs
4.7Monitor load movements constantly ensuring safety to personnel and load, and structural stability
4.8Respond to unplanned and/or unsafe situations in accordance with SOPs

5 Shut down and secure crane

5.1Park crane according to SOPs
5.2Stow crane and equipment and secure according to SOPs and the appropriate standard
5.3Apply all relevant motion locks and brakes, as applicable
5.4Shut down crane according to SOPs
5.5Carry out routine post-operational crane checks according to SOPs
5.6Remove hazard prevention/control measures, where applicable
5.7Report all damage and defects and record according to SOPs, and take appropriate action

Performance evidence

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
identifying and interpreting safety signs, manufacturers’ specifications and data, including maximum load information to ensure crane is not overloaded
complying with work health and safety (WHS) licensing legislation
communicating and working safely with others in the work area, including the use of hand signals, whistles and two-way radios
applying risk assessment and management procedures (particular awareness of the risks associated with overhead powerlines/electrical cables, access to cabin, other personnel and equipment in the work area, including vehicles and clear access whilst travelling)
conducting pre- and post-operational checks of the bridge and gantry crane
planning load transfer path for safety and efficiency in a manufacturing related environment
operating a bridge and gantry crane, including all functions to their maximum capacity in the lifting and moving of loads to the maximum rated capacity, in conjunction with other associated personnel
applying appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation of loads.

Knowledge evidence

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation of loads
bridge and gantry crane characteristics
federal, state or territory WHS legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for the crane class
emergency procedures, including escape routes
hierarchy of hazard identification and control
organisational and workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for conducting operations for the crane class
typical hazards in manufacturing related environments, including: process areas that must be avoided, ceased or special procedures adopted before load transfers occur, including welding, machining, melting and casting; transfers across areas frequented by personnel, including workstations and walkways; hazardous loads, including hot or liquid metals, chemicals, heavy and non-standard shaped loads
procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
typical routine problems encountered in the operation of the crane and equipment and adjustments required for correction.

Questions about assessing MEM11023

What does an assessment tool for MEM11023 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM11023 needs to address all 56 unit components: 5 elements with 37 performance criteria, 9 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 MEM11023?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM11023 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 MEM11023 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM11023 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 MEM11023, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
