Training Books
Assessment Instruments (training books) for many courses can be viewed on-line, or saved to your computer as low resolution PDF files.

The PDF files may also be printed but diagrams will not appear as sharp as in the classrom version.

A bound printed copy - the classroom version - will be supplied during any course in which you enrol, or assessment for which you register.

The Assessment Instruments present course content in two or three parts.

The reason for the resolution/ quality of presentation for the PDF files being downgraded is for quicker transmission.

 

Course Outline

DG Dogging

DOGGING COURSE - click here for Training Book/Assessment Instrument

Aims

This course is designed to introduce trainees to the basic skills associated with the slinging and movement of loads with cranes. Students will be able to safely direct and position loads using various communication systems. The course covers regulations, safety requirements. types of cranes and their application in different industries.

Qualifications & Recognition

National competency assessment is included in the course and participants who successfully meet these competencies are eligible to apply to the Worksafe for their Certificate in Dogging (DG). This National Card is recognised Australia wide.

Opportunities for Further Study

A Dogging certificate can lead to further skilled training for qualifications in basic rigging.

Job Prospects

Holders of dogging certificates may work in areas where cranes or lifting equipment are used e.g.. construction sites, building sites, transport depots, off-shore, mining and maintenance industries.

Who Can Apply

Those interested in dogging work.

DOGGING FORMULAS

Natural Fibre Rope

D mm X D mm = SWL in kgs

F.S. W.R.

D mm X D mm X 8 = SWL in kgs

Weight ÷ 8 = ü answer (FSWR in mm)

Chain Grade

L = 30, M = 40, p = 50

D mm X D mm Grade X

0.3 = WLL in kgs

GradeT =32

D mm X D mm X 32 =

WKK in kgs

Angle Factors

30 ° = 1.93

60° = 1.73

90° = 1.41

120° = 1.00

Load Factor

Square Load = .5

Round Load = .75

Task 1 : Slinging Techniques

D mm X D mm X 0.79 X H m X WOM + Tare (in kgs)

then Weight of Load ÷ 2 ÷ 8 = ü answer

= Gives Sling Size (in mm)

Task 2

D X D X Grade X 0.3 = L, M, P, Grade Chain

D X D X 32 = T Grade Chain

DX D X Grade X Angle Factor = SWL of Chain

Task 3

D X D X 8 X Angle Factor X Reeve Factor = SWL(in kg)

Maximum length of beam = Answer divide Steel Beam Weight

Task 4 : Crane Usage

WXR ÷ B ÷ N ÷ V = ü answer = Packing Size

W = Load plus half the mass of the boom (in tonnes).

R = Distance from load to back wheel support (in meters).

B = Distance from end of outrigger to back wheels (in metres).

N = Number of outriggers on the loaded side.

V = Soil bearing pressure (in tonnes per square metre).

Task 5

Rated Load - Hook Weight = Crane Capacity

Task 6

Structural/Instability
