What an assessment for RIIARO306 must cover

40 assessable components: 4 elements (24 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

1.6Select and obtain tools and equipment required for work activity in proximity to autonomous systems and components
1.7Obtain permits and clearances according to job and site requirements
1.8Identify potential risks and hazards, implement control measures within scope of own role, and escalate where required
1.9Obtain and interpret emergency procedures and identify steps required to respond to emergencies
1.10Coordinate and communicate planned activities with other personnel in work area according to site requirements

2 Monitor autonomous operations

2.1Enter designated work area according to autonomous systems and component manufacturer specifications and site requirements
2.2Identify requirements for, and implement personal protective zone according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
2.3Monitor risks and hazards, implement control measures within scope of own role, and escalate where required
2.4Monitor and verify autonomous operations in work area within scope of own role, and confirm operations meet manufacturer specifications and job and site requirements
2.5Monitor alert systems and alarms according to autonomous system and component manufacturer specifications and site requirements

3 Respond to obstructions to autonomous operations

3.1Respond to notification of obstruction to autonomous operations within scope of own role and according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
3.2Coordinate and communicate response activities with others
3.3Check and confirm obstruction is safe to approach and located a safe distance from autonomous operations according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
3.4Investigate and troubleshoot obstruction according to manufacturer specifications, site requirements and scope of own role, and escalate where required
3.5Propose and trial corrective action based on investigation and according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
3.6Confirm normal autonomous operations are restored according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements, and escalate where required

4 Conduct housekeeping

4.1Complete records and documentation according to site requirements
4.2Report potential risks and hazards according to site requirements and activities escalate where required
4.3Identify opportunities to optimise safety, efficiency and effectiveness of autonomous operations, and escalate where required within scope of own role

Performance evidence

respond to obstructions to autonomous operations on at least two occasions.
locate and apply, documentation, policies and procedures required to monitor and reset autonomous operations
implement the requirements, procedures and techniques to monitor and reset autonomous operations, including: interpreting and applying work health and safety requirements and work instructions, monitoring and confirming safe interaction with autonomous systems and components, identifying, monitoring and reporting obstructions, risks and hazards, responding to or reporting on monitoring systems and alarms, identifying common obstructions to normal autonomous operations
work with others to monitor and reset with autonomous systems in a way that meets required outcomes, including: communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions and convey work progress, coordinating work activity with others using multiple communication devices.

Knowledge evidence

legislation required to monitor and reset autonomous operations
policies, procedures and documentation required to respond to obstructions to autonomous operations, including those relating to: Australian and international standards for autonomous systems, activating and deactivating autonomous systems, autonomous system and component manufacturer specifications, entering and exiting autonomous operating zones, risk management, functional safety standards, hazard, incident and emergency response procedures, hierarchy road rules, obtaining permits and clearances, personal protective zones including roles and responsibilities, resetting autonomous systems, site requirements, site safety signage, alarms and systems, work areas, work health and safety, workplace recording and reporting requirements
types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations of autonomous systems and components, including: operating procedures, digital communications, emergency signals and procedures, key operational states of autonomous equipment, exclusion zones, remote stop functionality, safe distances for work activity, system perception and control functionalities
key aspects of autonomous equipment interactions in different environmental conditions and load states, including braking stopping functions
principles and techniques for risk and hazard management in autonomous environments, including those relating to: adverse operating conditions for autonomous systems and components including: dust, rain, rough terrain, risk management, including risks relating to operator and human machine interface (HMI) fatigue, limitations of electrical sensory and digital communication systems
techniques for responding to obstructions to autonomous operations, including those for: determining safe working distances and exclusion zones from autonomous systems and components, determining and verifying the mode of the autonomous system, identifying abnormal operations of autonomous systems and components, identifying and safely crossing autonomous system paths, identifying and verifying safe approach of autonomous systems and components, monitoring and verifying safe, effective and efficient autonomous operations, troubleshooting abnormal autonomous operations, testing and confirming corrective measures, using global positioning systems
roles and responsibilities of personnel in the autonomous environment value chain, including those relating to: budget, product quality, productivity, safety, interdependencies with other roles
key terminology for autonomous systems, components and operations, including those specific to relevant sector, organisation and manufacturer
techniques for coordinating and communicating work activities with others.

Foundation skills

Oral communication: Uses listening and questioning to clarify and confirm understanding
Self-management: Monitors and minimises own exposure to worksite risks and hazards during work activities
Technology: Uses digital technologies and applications to access, organise and share information

Questions about assessing RIIARO306

What does an assessment tool for RIIARO306 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIARO306 needs to address all 40 unit components: 4 elements with 24 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 RIIARO306?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIARO306 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 RIIARO306 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIARO306 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 RIIARO306, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
