What an assessment for RIIMPO306D must cover
37 assessable components: 4 elements (25 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 7 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 1 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 Prepare for operation of plant/machinery on live stockpile
- 1.1Access, interpret and apply stockpile operations documentation, and ensure the work activity is compliant

2 Push and place materials on the stockpile
- 2.1Coordinate activities with others at the site prior to commencement of, and during, the work activity
- 2.2Carry out start-up, park, shutdown and secure equipment procedures
- 2.3Drive and operate equipment effectively using controls and functions to complete specified tasks
- 2.4Identify location, and build and maintain windrows, and ensure safe operating distance from edges of stockpile
- 2.5Continuously assess location of stockpile edge in relation to operating plant/equipment and stability of stockpile slope
- 2.6Push materials perpendicular to and facing the slope edge and avoiding operation parallel to the stockpile edge
- 2.7Continually monitor hazards and risks, and ensure safety of self, other personnel, plant and equipment
- 2.8Operate at a speed consistent with the type of work being performed and the current ground conditions
3 Push and place materials around draw points and bridged materials
- 3.1Inspect stockpile, and identify the location of draw points/holes and suspected bridged materials and ensure that draw points/holes are clearly indicated
- 3.2Continuously assess location of draw points/holes and bridged materials in relation to operating plant/equipment to maintain safe operation
- 3.3Operate plant/machinery perpendicular to the edge of the draw hole or bridged material maintaining a safe distance from draw hole/bridge
- 3.4Communicate with relevant site personnel to determine the feeders being used and the amount of material being drawn from the stockpile
- 3.5Complete the work plan, within the operating capacities of the equipment
4 Finalise stockpile operations
- 4.1Carry out plant/equipment shut-down procedures
- 4.2Clean, inspect and store attachments and equipment
- 4.3Clean and leave plant/equipment parked on stable, flat ground for use by next operator
- 4.4Report location and state/condition of plant/equipment before going off shift
- 4.5Complete all required records and documents
Performance evidence
- locates and applies relevant documentation, policies and procedures
- implements the requirements, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient operation of plant/machinery on live stockpiles including: conducting prestart checks prior to commencing operations and shutdown procedures on completion of operations; carrying out vehicle refuelling requirements and procedures; driving and operating the equipment to site conditions; applying safe work practices and identifying and reporting all potential hazards, risks and environmental issues; applying problem solving and troubleshooting techniques; working safely around other machines and personnel
- works effectively with others to operate plant/machinery on live stockpiles and meet all of the required outcomes including: using a range of communications techniques and equipment to convey information to others; maintaining written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures
- demonstrates completion of operating plant/machinery on live stockpiles that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including: driving and operating the stockpile dozer for operations adjusting equipment operations to suit site conditions; demonstrates skills of pushing and placing of materials on coal stockpiles in varying conditions of weather, lighting and stockpile volume; identifying when stockpile is close to or at capacity and adjust activity to ensure safety to persons, equipment and the environment; locating the draw down point, bridged materials and avoids open holes; towing and pushing of equipment and plant; not parking up near open holes or draw down points
Knowledge evidence
- being prepared for spontaneous combustion situation
- completing equipment lowering and lifting
- communicating and performing isolation procedures
- identifying equipment processes, technical capability and limitations
- identifying, interpreting and using geological and technical data (basic)
- being prepared for fire/accident/emergency
- identifying signs of operator fatigue and how it should be managed identifying

Questions about assessing RIIMPO306D
What does an assessment tool for RIIMPO306D need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIMPO306D needs to address all 37 unit components: 4 elements with 25 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 RIIMPO306D?
Auditori pulls the current release of RIIMPO306D 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 RIIMPO306D — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing RIIMPO306D 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 RIIMPO306D, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
