Unit Descriptor

• Plan and prepare for lifting operations

• Prepare for lifting

• Move loads

​

If you are performing routine lifts with known load weights, the load has pre determined lifting points, application of a slinging technique is not required and the load remains within the crane operators view, then this course may be an alternative to a 5 day dogging course.

​

A Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) or similar must be developed and followed detailing load weight, inspection of slings/lifting gear, what type of lifting equipment is to be used and how the slings will be attached/applied to the load.​

​

A Licenced Dogman is required if there is a decision needed to be made about load weight, inspection, selection, or application of the slings and slinging technique, and/or the crane operator requires direction in the movement of the load.
