Dogman

The Dogman Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) gives businesses involved in lifting operations detailed guidance on safe work processes for dogmen, so tasks are performed efficiently and safely.

It covers the hazards (struck by the load, mechanical failure, machinery rollover, crash or collision), the precautions and training required, PPE, the dogman's responsibilities, pre-operational inspections of the load chart, quick-hitch device, hooks and chains, and the steps for rigging, lifting and landing loads.

An employee training and induction register records each worker's induction, training and competency.
