Dogman VOC Assessment – WorkSafe-Compliant & Onsite Across Melbourne
Holding a dogging ticket (DG licence) is essential — but in today’s safety-driven industry, employers often require more than just a licence.
That’s where a Dogman VOC (Verification of Competency) comes in. Our onsite VOC assessments for doggers are fast, compliant, and tailored to meet the demands of Melbourne’s construction, civil, infrastructure, and industrial sectors.
Whether you’re mobilising for a shutdown, starting on a Tier 1 site, or changing employers, we ensure you have up-to-date documentation proving you’re competent and compliant.

What Is a Dogman VOC?
A VOC (Verification of Competency) for doggers is a practical and theory-based assessment used to verify that a licensed dogman (DG) still has the skills, awareness, and site-readiness to work safely under modern lifting conditions.
While your licence shows you've been trained, the VOC shows you’re still current.
It’s a common requirement across:
Tier 1 infrastructure projects
Major construction and shutdowns
Council and government contracts
Labour hire and contractor onboarding
Insurance and compliance audits
What’s Covered in the Dogman VOC Assessment?
Our VOCs are delivered onsite and based on the actual equipment, lifting systems, and loads you'll work with. You’ll be assessed on:
Hazard identification and risk assessment
Selection and inspection of lifting equipment (slings, shackles, chains, etc.)
Use of taglines and exclusion zones
Application of correct slinging techniques
Interpreting lift plans and SWMS
Communication with crane operators using hand signals and radio
Awareness of safe working loads (SWL), angles, and load dynamics
Emergency procedures and incident response
PPE and safe work practices
Knowledge of WHS regulations and dogging responsibilities
Each VOC includes both practical observation and theoretical questioning.
