What an assessment for RIICRC306E must cover

68 assessable components: 5 elements (22 performance criteria), 24 performance evidence and 20 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Plan and prepare work to conduct earthworks

  • 1.1Obtain, interpret, clarify and confirm work requirements
  • 1.2Access, interpret and apply earthwork operations documentation and confirm work activity is compliant
  • 1.3Identify and address potential risks, hazards and environmental issues, and implement control measures
  • 1.4Select and wear personal protective equipment according to site requirements
  • 1.5Identify, obtain, confirm and implement signage requirements
  • 1.6Survey work site and confirm ease of access and safe movement of materials
  • 1.7Identify compaction standards and testing requirements
  • 1.8Select plant, tools and equipment required to carry out tasks and check for faults

2 Set out sub-grade

  • 2.1Set out job according to job requirements from survey controls
  • 2.2Establish profiles to line and level according to job requirements

3 Form earthworks

  • 3.1Inform plant operators of job requirements
  • 3.2Assess earthworks and confirm specified height is achieved with allowances for pavement courses and overall dimensions
  • 3.3Monitor uniform layer thickness and moisture content and confirm against job requirements
  • 3.4Monitor stabilisation of existing material against job requirements
  • 3.5Remove surface area protrusions and confirm damage to geosynthetic material is minimised
  • 3.6Place geosynthetic material according to job requirements

4 Place and compact sub-grade replacement materials

  • 4.1Identify, remove and store unsuitable material separately according to site requirements
  • 4.2Place imported replacement or stabilised material according to site requirements
  • 4.3Inform roller operators of required number of passes
  • 4.4Assess compaction process and confirm nominated number of passes achieves uniform compaction across the subgrade

5 Conduct clean-up activities

  • 5.1Clear work area and dispose of or recycle materials according to site requirements
  • 5.2Clean, check, maintain and store plant, tools and equipment according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements

Performance evidence

  • conduct earthworks on at least two occasions, including:
  • setting out sub-grade to plan
  • forming earthworks by informing plant operators of job requirements
  • assessing earthworks in progress
  • monitoring thickness and moisture content of earthworks
  • monitoring stabilisation of existing material
  • removing surface area protrusions and placing geosynthetic material
  • placing and compacting sub-grade replacement materials
  • clearing work area and disposing of, recycling or storing materials
  • cleaning, checking, maintaining and storing plant, tools and equipment.
  • locate and apply required documentation, policies and procedures and confirm work activity is compliant
  • implement the requirements, procedures and techniques to conduct earthworks, including:
  • identifying and applying required specifications to all work activities
  • identifying, addressing and reporting potential hazards and risks
  • identifying, obtaining, confirming and implementing signage requirements
  • selecting and checking for faults all plant, tools and equipment required to carry out tasks
  • surveying the work area for ease of access and movement of materials
  • identifying compaction standards and testing requirements
  • identifying, addressing and reporting environmental issues and ground conditions
  • work with others to conduct earthworks in a way that meets requirements, including:
  • preparing for and organising work activities to meet task requirements
  • communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions
  • using communication techniques and aids to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones
  • monitoring movements and hazards and identifying and communicating changes to work environment.

Knowledge evidence

  • legislation required to conduct earthworks
  • policies, procedures and documentation required to conduct earthworks, including those relating to:
  • site requirements
  • manufacturer specifications for required plant and equipment
  • relevant drawings and job specifications
  • hazard and risk management
  • environmental protection
  • work activity set up procedures
  • communication techniques and aids
  • site isolation, signage, erecting barriers and traffic control
  • work health and safety
  • waste management
  • compaction standards and testing requirements
  • types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations of plant and equipment required to conduct earthworks
  • principles and techniques for effective earthworks, including:
  • cutting and filling with existing materials
  • forming of existing materials
  • replacement of unsuitable materials
  • stabilising of unsuitable materials
  • use of geosynthetic materials.

Foundation skills

  • Numeracy: Calculates basic measurements including mass and dimensions
  • Self-management: Monitors and minimises own exposure to worksite risks and hazards during work activities

Questions about assessing RIICRC306E

What does an assessment tool for RIICRC306E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIICRC306E needs to address all 68 unit components: 5 elements with 22 performance criteria, 24 performance evidence requirements, 20 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 RIICRC306E?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIICRC306E 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 RIICRC306E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIICRC306E 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 RIICRC306E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
