Generate a complete, audit-ready assessment tool for this unit in minutes: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers, and a coverage matrix mapped to every component below. Reviewed and approved by your qualified person, exported under your branding.
Every new account includes a free credit — no card, no subscription.
What an assessment for RIIMCU218 must cover
24 assessable components: 3 elements (10 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 7 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.

- 1.4Identify potential risks, hazards and environmental issues, implement control measures within scope of own role, and escalate where required
- 1.5Obtain and interpret emergency procedures and identify steps required to respond to emergencies
2 Operate in work area where polymeric chemicals are in use
- 2.1Communicate work activities with others within scope of own role
- 2.2Identify and locate emergency response equipment in work area
- 2.3Monitor hazards and risks within scope of own role, confirm safe operation of plant and equipment, and escalate where required
3 Carry out housekeeping activities
- 3.1Conduct housekeeping activities according to site requirements
- 3.2Identify execution of housekeeping activities that do not meet site requirements, respond within scope of own role and escalate where required
Performance evidence
- carry out work activity in underground coal mining in proximity to at least one of the following polymeric chemical injection resins on at least two occasions: phenolic; polyurethane (PUR); urea silicate.
- locate and apply required legislation, documentation, policies and procedures, and confirm work activity is compliant, including: incident and emergency response requirements; polymeric chemicals labelling, transport and use requirements; safety and health documentation relating to polymeric chemical exposure; safety data sheets (SDS) requirements; site health monitoring requirements
- implement the requirements, procedures and techniques to work safely with polymeric chemicals in underground coal mining, including: identifying, addressing and reporting potential hazards, risks and environmental issues, including risks associated with transporting, using and working in proximity to polymeric chemicals; identifying and applying spillage response requirements; selecting and applying required personal protective equipment
- work with others to work safely with polymeric chemicals in underground coal mining in a way that meets required outcomes, including: organising work activities to meet task requirements; communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions; complying with reporting requirements and exclusion zone procedures.
Knowledge evidence
- legislative requirements relating to working safely with polymeric chemicals in underground coal mining
- policies, procedures and documentation required to work safely with polymeric chemicals in underground coal mining, including those relating to: biological monitoring requirements; communication plans; labelling, transporting, using and working in proximity to hazardous goods, including polymeric chemicals; operational zones; personal protective equipment requirements; safety and health documentation relating to polymeric chemical exposure; safety data sheets (SDS) requirements; site health monitoring requirements; site environmental and monitoring requirements; storage, including: temperature control; ventilation; spill containment; compatibility of chemicals; signage; access; fire response; work health and safety
- polymeric chemical types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations, risks and hazards
- types and characteristics of hazards when working with polymeric chemicals, including those relating to: individual chemical ingredients and their properties; frequency and intensity of exposure; route of entry into the body including ingestion, absorption and inhalation; susceptibility of the individual exposed
- techniques for identifying, preventing and responding to relevant hazards and emergencies, including those relating to: positioning of equipment and work locations; ventilation quantity and arrangements to remove airborne contaminants; uncontrolled release of chemicals, including spills, ruptured hoses, ruptured containers; unplanned or undesired outcomes, including generation of excessive heat or ignition of products
- techniques for housekeeping and reporting
- basic techniques for communicating job activities with others.
Foundation skills
- Oral communication: Conveys information and requirements clearly and listens actively
- Reading: Identifies and interprets specific information from workplace documentation
- Self-management: Monitors and minimises own exposure to worksite risks and hazards during activities

Questions about assessing RIIMCU218
What does an assessment tool for RIIMCU218 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIMCU218 needs to address all 24 unit components: 3 elements with 10 performance criteria, 4 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 RIIMCU218?
Auditori pulls the current release of RIIMCU218 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 RIIMCU218 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing RIIMCU218 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 RIIMCU218, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
