RIIBLA602D — Establish and maintain a blasting system

1 Plan and prepare to establish and maintain a blasting system

• 1.1Access, interpret and apply blasting plan documentation and ensure the work activity is compliant
• 1.2Identify blasting methods and options from an analysis of all relevant technical, environmental and operational and financial information
• 1.3Identify the requirements for blasting materials against mine requirements
• 1.4Identify the requirements for, and purpose of blasting equipment and supporting infrastructure in accordance with mine design and system of mining
• 1.5Identify, address and report potential risks, hazards and environmental issues, determine acceptable levels of risk and implement control measures
• 1.6Identify and assess potential sites/routes for blasting and supporting infrastructure by visit, and locate and confirm on mine plan

2 Establish a system for blasting

• 2.1Investigate, design and establish operational procedures for blasting, covering methods, materials, equipment and infrastructure
• 2.2Design and establish recording and reporting procedures for blasting information
• 2.3Develop and implement safe blasting procedures, including design management
• 2.4Establish monitoring procedures for blasting
• 2.5Develop and establish procedures for reviewing and modifying work processes
• 2.6Develop blasting system as an integral component of the mine work health and safety management system

3 Establish the support arrangements

• 3.1Identify and establish appropriate magazine/storage facilities
• 3.2Identify and establish appropriate transportation and handling methods for explosives
• 3.3Develop and implement maintenance procedures for blasting equipment and infrastructure systems
• 3.4Establish a program, including systems and procedures, to satisfy blasting and shotfiring training requirements

4 Establish systems for audit and review

• 4.1Develop and implement procedures to evaluate and confirm blasting system compliance
• 4.2Identify and assess future blasting activities and infrastructure system requirements and incorporate into planning processes
• 4.3Design and implement procedures to confirm the currency and compliance of blasting equipment and infrastructure maintenance and safety standards
• 4.4Establish and implement procedures for incorporating feedback into the audit and review process
• 4.5Establish and implement procedures to confirm the currency, relevance and compliance of the blasting training program against identified requirements
• 4.6Establish procedures for response to instances of non-compliance or other discrepancies/deficiencies revealed by audit
• 4.7Audit emergency response and evacuation plans and procedures for compliance with legislative and site requirements

What does an assessment tool for RIIBLA602D need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIBLA602D needs to address all 44 unit components: 4 elements with 23 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 RIIBLA602D?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIBLA602D 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 RIIBLA602D — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIBLA602D 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 RIIBLA602D, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
