Introduction
Dogging is the first step in becoming a rigger. Dogman work with crane operators to hook up loads and direct the cranes where the loads need to be moved to. A Licenced Dogman can select and inspect lifting gear, sling loads as per trained techniques, and direct crane or hoist operators in the movement of loads. This unit specifies the outcomes required to perform slinging techniques, including the selection and inspection of lifting gear and/or the directing of the crane operator in the movement of the load when the load is out of view of the crane operator.
This course will cover the following aspects:
Plan task | Who do you need to talk to or work with on this task? What equipment is required? What is the load that needs to be moved?
Select and inspect equipment | Have you checked the slinging equipment? How do you know what equipment is required?
Set up task | How do you establish communication with other people involved in the task? Have you identified any hazards and put controls in place?
Perform task | How do you hook up a load and carry out the task safely? What do you need to do in order to move the load to where it needs to be?
Pack up and clean up | How do you check for any damage to equipment once it has been used? How does the equipment need to be stored after use?
