Elements and Performance Criteria
Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:
perform dogging on at least two occasions, including:developing preliminary dogging plan, detailing the following points:confirmed details of dogging requirementsconfirmed dimensions and masssite access and egresssuitability and availability of materialstools and equipmentidentification of potential hazardsprobable control measures identification of site coordination requirementsscheduling resources required for planned liftcalculating safe working loads and centre of gravity, including using load charts and sling tags/chartsselecting and conducting pre and postoperational inspections on equipment, including:lifting equipmentpersonal protective equipmentcommunication equipmentmoving loads in conjunction with crane/hoist including demonstrating the following for loads of varying weights, sizes and shapes:slinging loadloadingusing portable lifting equipment, including blocks and lever hoistslateral load movements or drifting load using multiple lifting devicesdirecting crane/hoist operator in movement of load when load is out of view of crane/hoist operatordirecting crane/hoist operator in movement of load when load is in view of crane/hoist operatordirecting crane/hoist operator in landing load when load is out of the view of crane/hoist operatordirecting crane/hoist operator in landing load when load is in view of crane/hoist operator.During the above the candidate must:locate and apply relevant documentation, policies and procedures and confirm work activity is compliantimplement requirements, procedures and techniques for performing dogging through:reading work load limit tagsusing ropes as tag linesusing ropes to connect to loads using each of the following knot types:clove hitchrolling hitchsingle sheet bendbowlinecalculating mass, dimensions and centre of gravity of load and assessing for lifting requirementsidentified and using lifting/slinging points on load clearing work area of materials by disposing, reusing or recycling on completion of work activitywork effectively with others to perform dogging that meets all of the required outcomes through:communicating hazards and determining elimination or control of hazardscommunicating lifting sequence with othersreporting work completion to relevant personnel.
