Unit of Competency | MEM11004B - Undertake dogging |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit covers attaching slings to loads and moving loads using appropriate communication and signalling methods. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to the skills used when working with loads, selecting equipment and communicating with a crane driver in a workshop or on site.The scope of work is to demonstrate competence in the application of slinging techniques, selection and inspection of lifting gear, and direction of the crane/hoist operator in the movement of the load including when the load is out of view of the operator.This unit is not intended to apply to machine loading and simple straight lifts where knowledge of codes and signals is not required.Band: AUnit Weight: 4 | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to calculate, sling, and arrange safe movement of a load. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with the calculation and safe movement of loads or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: selecting lifting methods and load shifting equipment appropriate to the task attaching loads calculating safe working loads communicating with related personnel about the lift using of basic hand tools relating to lifts identifying hazards and assessing risk identifying damaged/worn lifting gear self management team work problem solving |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: Australian standards, codes of practice and specifications lifting methods and lifting gear to suit various loads dogging signals and communication methods calculations relevant to lifting procedures lifting methods types and applications of load shifting equipment hazards and control measures associated with dogging use and application of personal protective equipment safe work practices and procedures licensing requirements permit requirements site/non-site personnel manufacturers' specifications enterprise procedures workplace communication procedures |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Hazards | May include overhead power lines, trees, overhead service lines (such as steam, gas, water, telephone), underground services, uneven and/or unstable ground, allowable floor loading as appropriate, other workers and persons, surrounding buildings/vessels/structures equipment, hazardous materials, corrosive substances, barricades, inadequate lighting and radio interference |
Load shifting equipment | May include overhead cranes, overhead gantry, forklift with approved lifting boom/jib, mobile cranes |
Lifting method | Slings in an appropriate configuration |
Lifting gear | Tags, slings, ropes, shackles, lifting clutches, snatch blocks, I bolts, spreader beams, chain blocks, chain shorteners and may include equalising sheaves, collared I bolts, turn buckles, rigging screws and lifting lugs |
Calculations | Load and gear calculations |
Safe working practices | Inspection of the environment Assessment of hazards Personnel safety |
Communication and signalling methods | Signals are given both within sight and out of sight of equipment operators. Signals include stop, raise, lower, slew, luff, extend and retract boom, using hands, verbal instructions and whistles |
State or Territory legislative requirements | Appropriate OH&S and acts and regulations Australian standards and codes of practice and NOHSC:1006 AS1418 |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
Observation Checklist
Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice | Yes | No | Comments/feedback |
---|---|---|---|
Potential hazards associated with the use of cranes and other load shifting equipment are identified and measures to eliminate or control these hazards are planned. | |||
Site information is obtained as necessary. | |||
All work is undertaken safely and to prescribed procedures. | |||
Load is inspected and best lifting method determined. | |||
