Workers who need to exercise judgement to sling loads or who direct crane movement from outside the crane operator’s full view (such as with whistle signals or radio)
Dogging consists of two main aspects:
Simply put, someone who engages in dogging is called a Dogger.
Our Rigging Basic Night Course delivers the same nationally recognised High Risk Work Licence (Class RB), but in a flexible evening format designed for working professionals.
Basic Rigging is a critical skill in construction, infrastructure, shutdown, maintenance, and crane operations. It involves applying technical knowledge and practical rigging techniques to safely move, position, secure, and install loads and structural components using lifting equipment, cranes, hoists, and rigging systems.
The role of a Basic Rigger focuses on safely performing rigging work associated with lifting operations, steel erection, placement of structural members, and the installation of plant and equipment — all under strict Work Health and Safety requirements.
By completing your High Risk Work Licence (Class RB) at night, you gain the same nationally recognised qualification — without disrupting your daytime employment.
Our night delivery format is ideal for:
• Full-time workers
• Shift workers
• Apprentices and tradespeople
• Employers wanting minimal daytime disruption
• Individuals progressing from Dogging into Rigging
• Workers entering the crane and construction industries
Night sessions are conducted in a structured, supervised training environment with full access to rigging equipment and realistic practical scenarios.
You receive the exact same assessment standards, compliance requirements and licence outcomes as daytime classes.
The Night Basic Rigging Course includes:
• Theory components delivered in evening classroom sessions
• Practical rigging exercises under supervision
• Rigging equipment selection and inspection training
• Steel and structural movement techniques
• Installation and relocation of loads and equipment
• Use of lifting gear, chain blocks, lever hoists and rigging systems
• Preparation for SafeWork assessment
Assessment is conducted in accordance with High Risk Work licensing requirements.
Upon successful completion, you will be able to:
• Apply WHS legislation and duty of care requirements
• Select and inspect rigging equipment
• Perform basic rigging tasks safely
• Install and move structural steel and plant equipment
• Use static lines, safety nets and associated rigging systems
• Safely conduct lifting and shifting operations
• Comply with Australian Standards and national guidelines
• Meet the competency requirements for HRW Licence Class RB
With a nationally recognised Basic Rigging licence, you may work as:
• Basic Rigger on construction sites
• Steel erection crew member
• Crane and rigging team member
• Shutdown or infrastructure project worker
• Industrial maintenance worker
• Telecommunications or mechanical installation worker
Night training allows you to upskill without stepping away from your current employment — giving you a competitive edge in high-demand industries.
If your goal is to advance further, Basic Rigging is the pathway toward:
• Intermediate Rigging (RI)
• Advanced Rigging (RA)
• Crane operations and specialised lifting work
Our night course pathway can support staged progression.
FHV’s Basic Rigging Night Course prioritises real-world, practical training.
You will:
