Dogman Training
Dogman Training Reduces the Risk of Workplace Injuries
Dogman training allows construction workers to successfully direct crane operators in the course of their duties. When a worker has successfully completed dogman training they are able to operate the various ropes, slings, chains and accessories that are used to work at heights. Dogman training is all about preparing workers to safely tackle projects that require high rise work. A licenced dogman is skilled at assessing weight loads and calculating the safe working load of equipment being used to move materials or support workers during construction. Dogman training gives workers the skills they need to safely load ropes and slings, to reduce the chances of a workplace accident.
While most weights are listed on shipping containers or packaging materials, sometimes Dogmen are required to estimate the load. In those instances the dogman training they receive is invaluable. If they cant estimate the load they will stop the proceedings in accordance with safety regulations. Having someone on hand that is familiar with the safe methods for moving heavy loads prevents injuries and keeps things moving smoothly.
Crane operators also need specific information as they operate their equipment. Their view point is limited and they cant respond quickly to changing conditions. Dogman training gives workers the ability to quickly and easily instruct crane operators as they manoeuvre extremely heavy, and therefore dangerous, loads. Having a licenced dogman onsite for any large construction project is necessary when height work is needed. The training is not arduous and it can be obtained inexpensively at local companies.
