Course Information
Everything else you need to know.
Course Description
This course specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely perform dogging work. Dogging consists of the application of slinging techniques to move a load, including the selection and inspection of lifting gear, and the directing of a plant operator in the movement of a load when the load is out of sight of the operator.
This course requires a person to:
- Plan dogging task
- Select and inspect dogging equipment
- Set up dogging task
- Perform dogging task
- Pack up and clean up
Dogging work is conducted in the construction industry and other industries where loads are lifted and moved using cranes or hoists.
Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia model Code of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement of CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
Competence in this unit does not in itself result in a licence. A licence is obtained after competence is assessed under applicable Commonwealth, state or territory work health and safety (WHS) regulations.
