Course Description

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 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.

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 CPCCWHS1001 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.

The assessment will be conducted in a safe environment where the evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced by individuals in the workplace.

 The assessment consists of several assessment tasks to be undertaken on the ECB premises. Competency will be established based on evidence collected through a diverse range of assessment methods, including questions and answers, written assessment tasks (e.g. discussion, exercise, plant and equipment logbook hours, and report), case studies/scenarios, presentations and projects and the national mandated assessments as approved by WorkSafe.
