Overview
What this RAVS document does
Asbestos exposure causes fatal disease decades after the fact, so it is one of the most tightly regulated hazards in Alberta. Hiring clients require an asbestos answer from any contractor whose work could disturb asbestos-containing material - and they expect to see real controls.
This document states your company's asbestos program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how asbestos-containing material is identified, exposure controls and containment, respiratory protection, worker training, and how asbestos waste is handled. Each point ties back to Part 4 of the Alberta OHS Code. 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 asbestos answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the asbestos element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written asbestos program with a clear purpose and scope
- How asbestos-containing material is identified before work
- Exposure controls, containment, and work procedures by restriction level
- Respiratory protection and protective clothing
- Worker training specific to asbestos work
- Handling, labelling, and disposal of asbestos waste

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the asbestos element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to abatement contractors and to any company whose work - demolition, renovation, insulation, or maintenance on older structures - could disturb asbestos-containing material. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags asbestos, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the asbestos review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 4 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Identify before you disturb. A reviewer expects asbestos-containing material to be identified before work begins - never assumed absent.
- Document asbestos-specific training. The RAVS states that workers are trained for asbestos work. Keep that training current and on file for a hiring client audit.
