Description

Welcome to CPCCLDG3001 Licence to perform dogging training. This is a high risk work licence - class DG.

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. 

After completing the learning activities successfully, the trainer and assessor will assess participants to determine if they are ready for their licencing exam, to be conducted by the High Risk Work (HRW) Assessor

After completing the riggers training, participants will have acquired the skills to move, secure and place loads using mechanical load shifting equipment.

Participants will be trained in the following areas of knowledge and skills:

• Plan task.
• Selecting and inspecting equipment.
• Set up tasks.
• Perform dogging tasks
• Completing Tasks: Pack up and clean up
