What Is Dogging??

Dogging consists of two main aspects:

The slinging techniques used for moving a load (including the selection and inspection of lifting equipment).

The directing of a hoist or crane operator who is moving a load, when the load is out of the operator’s view.

Simply put, someone who engages in dogging is called a dogman.

WorkSafe Victoria describes dogging and dogmen as:

“Workers who need to exercise judgement to sling loads or who direct crane movement from outside the crane operator’s full view (such as with whistle signals or radio).”

So next time you are watching a crane move a heavy load on a building site you can be assured the people directing him from the ground have a licence and training to do so.

Here are a few details to note regarding the Boom-Type Elevating Work Platform Course:

When Are You Required To Do A Dogman Course?

Before you undertake any dogman activities, such as slinging loads or directing hoist or crane operators, you need a High Risk Work Dogging Licence (DG). Up to 75% of workers on some large construction sites have a Dogman ticket.

In general, a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must ensure that people engaged in slinging loads have received sufficient training, instruction and information to correctly follow the specific procedures without exercising judgement.

How Long Does Dogman Training Take?

The dogman course at CTI takes 5 full days of training, Monday to Friday. Courses start every Monday.

What Is Dogman Training Like?

At CTI, you undergo a five day dogging course. You will need suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in order to participate.

The course itself is 8 hours per day. All of the training is done at CTI, with no offsite training – CTI has everything required onsite. The course is a mixture of practical and theoretical learning.

The dogman course is not impacted by the weather. If there is rain, for example, the trainees will wear protective coats and continue the training, although there may be occasional breaks in order to be practical. The local bakery 5 minutes away is a ripper, watch the queues.
