Doggers attach slings and direct the movement of loads
handled by cranes in locations such as manufacturing plants,
construction and mining sites, and the maritime industry.
A dogger may perform the following tasks:
- check loads to be moved, estimating size, shape, weight
and centre of gravity, and make sure that loads do not
exceed lifting capacities of cranes
- attach lifting devices to hoisting equipment and items
to be moved, using clamps, hooks, bolts and knots
- choose and use slings and other grappling devices,
covering sharp corners with padding to prevent damage to
slings
- where the load is not visible to crane or winch
operators, hand signals, whistles or two-way radios are
used. Doggers have to be continually alert for people, or
objects which may come in the path of the load
- guide loads into position as they are lowered
- inspect chains, slings, ropes, cables, hooks and lifting
gear for flaws and damage such as cracks, wear, mildew and
corrosion, and report defects.
Doggers work both in and out of view of crane drivers.
