Rigging & Dogging VOC in Perth & Western Australia
A rigging or dogging Verification of Competency (VOC) confirms that a worker can safely and competently sling loads, direct crane operations and carry out rigging tasks to the required standard. STES assesses dogging (DG) and rigging at basic (RB), intermediate (RI) and advanced (RA) levels for Perth and Western Australian sites.
Dogging and rigging are high risk work, so workers must hold the current High Risk Work (HRW) licence for the relevant class before a VOC can be issued. Assessments are conducted at our Bibra Lake facility in Perth or onsite across WA.

Frequently asked questions: Rigging & dogging VOC
What is the difference between dogging and rigging?
Dogging covers slinging techniques and directing a crane operator. Rigging builds on dogging and covers moving plant and equipment, steel erection, hoists and, at higher levels, more complex lifts and structures.
Do I need a licence before a rigging or dogging VOC?
Yes. Dogging and rigging are high risk work, so you must hold the current High Risk Work (HRW) licence for the relevant class before a VOC can be conducted.
Can you assess rigging and dogging onsite?
Yes. We travel to worksites across Perth and Western Australia so workers can be assessed in their actual working environment, and we also assess at our Bibra Lake facility.
