• 3.7Develop systems to control hazards in lifting and towing systems for mechanical equipment
• 3.8Develop systems to protect people in their interrelationship with mechanical equipment in the underground environment
• 3.9Develop systems to prevent failure of winding and personnel transport equipment
• 3.10Evaluate the uses of mine monitoring and information systems to control hazards and risks on mechanical equipment

4 Establish the mine mechanical plant management system

• 4.1Establish mechanical plant objectives, systems, descriptions and responsibilities and incorporate into the mechanical plant management system
• 4.2Consult with relevant stakeholders in the development of the mechanical plant management system
• 4.3Design mechanical plant management systems to satisfy the operational systems and conditions of the mine
• 4.4Incorporate maintenance and inspections systems to ensure the equipment is safe to operate
• 4.5Incorporate systems to monitor and test the performance of safety critical functions on mechanical plant and equipment
• 4.6Incorporate systems to control noise, dust, other emissions and other hazardous substances
• 4.7Incorporate systems to develop safe work procedures
• 4.8Incorporate systems for the management of mechanical contractors
• 4.9Develop and establish mechanical engineering standards
• 4.10Develop and establish mechanical equipment information recording and reporting procedures, including defect reporting and rectification
• 4.11Establish a program, including systems and procedures, to satisfy mechanical equipment training requirements
• 4.12Incorporate audit and review requirements and update procedures into the mine mechanical plant management system.

5 Audit and review the mechanical plant management system

• 5.1Audit mine mechanical engineering standards for compliance with statutory and mine site requirements
• 5.2Audit mine mechanical equipment monitoring systems operations for compliance with statutory and mine site requirements
• 5.3Audit the maintenance program and procedures for compliance with the Mechanical Plant Management System and statutory requirements
• 5.4Audit recording and reporting systems for compliance with the Mechanical Plant Management System
• 5.5Audit mechanical plant management training program for currency, relevance and compliance with the requirements of the Mechanical Plant Management System
• 5.6Establish procedures for non-compliances revealed by audit and modify the management plan where appropriate
• 5.7Review the Mechanical Plant Management System

What does an assessment tool for RIIRAI605D need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIRAI605D needs to address all 92 unit components: 5 elements with 42 performance criteria, 30 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 RIIRAI605D?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIRAI605D 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 RIIRAI605D — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIRAI605D 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 RIIRAI605D, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
