RIIARO406 — Optimise automated haulage operations

1 Optimise automated haulage system performance

• 1.1Control access to work areas in accordance with entry and exit procedures to ensure the safety of people and efficiency of equipment operating in the vicinity of automated haulage equipment
• 1.2Build, configure, update and/or validate spatial mine model and escalate when irregularities are identified
• 1.3Optimise fleet management and interface between automated and manually operated vehicles to meet the mine shift plan
• 1.4Monitor interface with plant operations to optimise productivity and manage contingencies in accordance with shift plan and organisational protocols

2 Monitor automated haulage processes and outcomes

• 2.1Use control system data to maintain equipment performance within required parameters
• 2.2Monitor machine performance to meet key performance indicators relating to dig rates, hang and queue times; and make adjustments as needed
• 2.3Anticipate issues and plan for contingencies to minimise impact on the current plan by monitoring sensors, camera feeds and/or positional data
• 2.4Monitor and direct equipment in the pit area and oversee the electronic boundaries/cables that protect personnel to ensure every piece of equipment and each person is situationally aware of autonomous operation status
• 2.5Monitor implementation of safety controls relating to hazards to enable timely intervention when needed

3 Respond to abnormal situations

• 3.1Prioritise and resolve alarms and warning system alerts in accordance with organisational procedures
• 3.2Use real time and/or trend data to compensate for and adjust to actual or potential adverse situations within scope of own responsibility
• 3.3Confirm integrity of data from obstacle or collision, and mechanical/electrical failure detection systems and request site personnel to investigate when required
• 3.4Confirm and monitor adequate positive isolation of equipment when personnel are in proximity
• 3.5Coordinate person/machine intervention to restart or recover stationary automated vehicles in line with recovery procedures
• 3.6Respond to changed conditions in designated area/s of control in accordance with organisational escalation protocols

What does an assessment tool for RIIARO406 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIARO406 needs to address all 67 unit components: 3 elements with 15 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 44 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 RIIARO406?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIARO406 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 RIIARO406 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIARO406 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 RIIARO406, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
