What an assessment for RIIHAN208E must cover

89 assessable components: 4 elements (23 performance criteria), 42 performance evidence and 21 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.

  • 3.5Confirm stability of load by applying load movement, temporary bracing and/or load support procedures according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
  • 3.6Direct load to landing position using communication compliant with Australian standards and site procedures

4 Clean up

  • 4.1Dismantle and inspect load shifting equipment according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
  • 4.2Clear work area according to site requirements
  • 4.3Check, clean, maintain and store tools and equipment according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements
  • 4.4Apply work completion procedures and notify relevant personnel according to site requirements

Performance evidence

  • perform dogging on at least two occasions, including:
  • developing preliminary dogging plan, detailing the following points:
  • confirmed details of dogging requirements
  • confirmed dimensions and mass
  • site access and egress
  • suitability and availability of materials
  • tools and equipment
  • identification of potential hazards
  • probable control measures
  • identification of site coordination requirements
  • scheduling resources required for planned lift
  • calculating safe working loads and centre of gravity, including using load charts and sling tags/charts
  • selecting and conducting pre- and post-operational inspections on equipment, including:
  • lifting equipment
  • personal protective equipment
  • communication equipment
  • moving loads in conjunction with crane/hoist including demonstrating the following for loads of varying weights, sizes and shapes:
  • slinging load
  • loading
  • using portable lifting equipment, including blocks and lever hoists
  • lateral load movements or drifting load using multiple lifting devices
  • directing crane/hoist operator in movement of load when load is out of view of crane/hoist operator
  • directing crane/hoist operator in movement of load when load is in view of crane/hoist operator
  • directing crane/hoist operator in landing load when load is out of the view of crane/hoist operator
  • directing crane/hoist operator in landing load when load is in view of crane/hoist operator
  • During the above the candidate must:
  • locate and apply relevant documentation, policies and procedures and confirm work activity is compliant
  • implement requirements, procedures and techniques for performing dogging through:
  • reading work load limit tags
  • using ropes as tag lines
  • using ropes to connect to loads using each of the following knot types:
  • clove hitch
  • rolling hitch
  • single sheet bend
  • bowline
  • calculating mass, dimensions and centre of gravity of load and assessing for lifting requirements
  • identified and using lifting/slinging points on load
  • clearing work area of materials by disposing, reusing or recycling on completion of work activity
  • work effectively with others to perform dogging that meets all of the required outcomes through:
  • communicating hazards and determining elimination or control of hazards
  • communicating lifting sequence with others
  • reporting work completion to relevant personnel

Knowledge evidence

  • key legislation required to conduct lifting operations, including those relating to:
  • working at heights
  • key policies, procedures and documentation required to conduct lifting operations, including:
  • Australian standards and code of practice relating to dogging
  • National Standard for High Risk Work for dogging
  • national certification standards relating to dogging
  • operational and maintenance procedures
  • site and equipment safety requirements
  • principles and techniques for developing preliminary dogging plan, including:
  • confirmed details of dogging requirements
  • confirmed dimensions and mass
  • site access and egress
  • suitability and availability of materials
  • tools and equipment
  • identification of potential hazards
  • probable control measures
  • identification of site coordination requirements
  • signalling methods and communications techniques relating to dogging
  • types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations of equipment required for dogging, including designs and functions of lifting equipment
  • principles and techniques for identifying and responding to relevant hazards and emergencies, including those relating to cranes and load moving equipment
  • basic techniques for communicating job activities with others

Foundation skills

  • Numeracy: Calculates basic measurements including mass and dimensions
  • Reading: Identifies and interprets information from workplace documentation and legislation
  • Self-management: Monitors and minimises own exposure to worksite risks and hazards during activities

Questions about assessing RIIHAN208E

What does an assessment tool for RIIHAN208E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIHAN208E needs to address all 89 unit components: 4 elements with 23 performance criteria, 42 performance evidence requirements, 21 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 RIIHAN208E?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIHAN208E 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 RIIHAN208E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIHAN208E 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 RIIHAN208E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
