Purpose
This unit 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 crane or plant operator in the movement of a load when the load is out of sight of the operator.
Dogging work is conducted in the construction industry and other industries where loads are lifted and moved using cranes or hoists.
Competence in this unit does not in itself result in a high risk work licence. A high risk work licence is obtained after competence is assessed under applicable Commonwealth, state or territory work health and safety (WHS) regulations and is issued by Worksafe WA.
