Overview
What this RAVS document does
Ammonia is corrosive, toxic, and flammable in the right concentration, and it is widely used in refrigeration, ice rinks, and as a process chemical. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor controls ammonia exposure and is ready to respond to a leak.
This document states your company's ammonia exposure program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the properties and health effects of ammonia, signage and storage, prevention of exposure and release, ventilation and detection systems, the emergency response plan, and eye wash and shower facilities. 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 ammonia exposure 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 ammonia exposure program with purpose and scope
- The properties and health effects of anhydrous and aqueous ammonia
- Protective equipment and signage for ammonia storage areas
- Ventilation and ammonia detection systems
- An emergency response plan for an ammonia leak
- Eye wash and shower facilities for ammonia exposure

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the ammonia exposure element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to refrigeration, ice rink, cold storage, and industrial maintenance companies whose workers service or work near ammonia systems. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags ammonia exposure, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the ammonia exposure review the first time
- Match the program to your systems. A reviewer wants to see that the detection, ventilation, and emergency response content reflects the ammonia systems your crews actually service.
- Cover the emergency response plan. The document sets out the response to a minor leak and a major leak. Confirm your crews know those procedures.
- Keep eye wash and shower facilities ready. The document states tempered-water eye wash and shower facilities are available and appropriately located. A hiring client audit will check this.
