MSL975055 — Classify building sites

1 Prepare to classify site

• 1.1Review job request and any accompanying documentation to identify purpose of site classification, proposed structure, client’s information needs and timeframe
• 1.2Review relevant building codes or regulations, standards and workplace procedures for classifying site
• 1.3Locate any previous site classifications conducted in same area
• 1.4Review supplied site drawings, topography, borehole locations and logs, photographs and design plans for planned structure
• 1.5Inspect supplied samples and investigation data for completeness and obvious errors
• 1.6Confirm that investigation data meets depth requirements for the type of site and location
• 1.7Liaise with client when supplied documentation, samples, investigation data and/or job request do not comply with workplace procedures and resolve any problems

2 Analyse site information and test results

• 2.1Locate and assess site features, such as slope, structures, drainage, trees and vegetation or abnormal soil conditions that may affect site classification
• 2.2Determine if fill is present on-site, whether controlled or uncontrolled, and its depth and extent
• 2.3Determine bearing capacity of soil
• 2.4Review shrink/swell or correlated clay index test results to determine soil reactivity
• 2.5Review bore log data in conjunction with soil reactivity and calculate potential soil movement
• 2.6Recognise obvious errors, insufficient or inconsistent data and limitations of test results
• 2.7Arrange for, or conduct, additional sampling and/or testing to ensure reliable data for site classification, as required

3 Report site classification

• 3.1Use standard symbols and descriptors to assign a valid site classification that accurately reflects soil reactivity, surface movement and any problematic features
• 3.2Summarise field observations, calculations and test results used to determine site classification
• 3.3Accurately describe site features that will affect the design of the proposed structure
• 3.4Provide adequate data to inform footing system design
• 3.5Authorise release of site classification report to the client, or forward the report to a signatory for review and release

4 Finalise site classification

• 4.1Store client’s documentation, samples and test data, and site classification in accordance with workplace procedures
• 4.2Maintain confidentiality of client information

What does an assessment tool for MSL975055 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSL975055 needs to address all 37 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 13 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 MSL975055?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSL975055 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 MSL975055 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSL975055 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 MSL975055, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
