Overview
What this RAVS document does
Abrasive blasting throws dust and coatings that can carry silica and toxic metals, and a hiring client that configures this element wants to see a real exposure-control program before it approves a contractor for blasting work.
This document states your company's abrasive blasting program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the general requirements and competency, the personal protective equipment and breathing air, the blasting equipment and enclosures, engineering controls and ventilation, restricted work zones, and cleanup. Each point ties back to The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
What the reviewer verifies
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that an abrasive blasting answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written abrasive blasting program with purpose and scope
- Worker competency and training in abrasive blasting procedures
- Personal protective equipment, including respiratory protection and breathing air
- Blasting enclosures, engineering controls, and exhaust ventilation
- Restricted work zones and operating controls for the blasting equipment
- Cleanup that prevents the inhalation and dissemination of silica dust

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Saskatchewan contractors whose hiring clients require the abrasive blasting element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to surface preparation, industrial coating, tank cleaning, and maintenance companies whose crews strip and clean surfaces with abrasive streams. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags abrasive blasting, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the abrasive blasting review the first time
- Use the Saskatchewan version. ISNetworld reviewers reject abrasive blasting answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to the Saskatchewan OHS legislation.
- Show the breathing air standard. A reviewer wants to see that air-supplied hoods and breathing air meet the CSA breathing air standard for operators and workers near the nozzle.
- Keep your blasting enclosure inspections. The document states a blasting enclosure is inspected daily when in use. A hiring client audit will ask to see those records.
