Seano Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Could one of the antipodeans please tell us what "dogging" is down there? It is NSFW to Google it here...The equivalent job description in our part of the world would be "banksman/slinger".Theres a definition here (on the site that Mac posted a link to). hthSeanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Could be interesting if someone from that part of the world came over here to look for work and proclaimed themselves on their CV to be an "experienced dogger, looking for a suitable position"!

flypig Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi Sim. I've just e-mailed someone here in Sydney (who runs accredited training courses) asking where you can go to get your ticket in Bris. I'll get back to you with an answer when I have it (should be tomorrow). And by the way 'a banksman/slinger' here would be something we would wonder about (although you can see where it would come from) - on the old wharves (wharfs?) a peson would be working on the "Bank" and "slinging" the load for delivery into the hold of a ship perhaps? I think the term 'dog' in seafaring terms refers to the handles on a hatch. ergo, a 'Dogman' would be the person responsible for the loading and securing of the vessels cargo? Regards H.

bald_dan Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hey all I just this week have been looking into obtaining some accreditation for my self (I live and work in Brisbane) and through the company I work for was refereed to this company called "more skills" http://www.moreskills.com.au/Courses/Riggi...35/Default.aspx looks like they do all levels of qualifications. I am waiting to hear back from them as to what level I would need for general indoor rigging. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
