Overview
What this RAVS document does
Most Saskatchewan worksites expose workers to a chemical or biological substance, and a hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor monitors and controls exposure rather than just storing safety data sheets.
This document states your company's chemical and biological hazards program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: monitoring worker exposure, the hazard assessment, the hierarchy of controls, the substance list and contamination limits, respiratory protection, spill response, and worker training. 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 a chemical and biological 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 chemical and biological hazards program with purpose and scope
- Monitoring and a hazard assessment of worker exposure to harmful substances
- The hierarchy of controls: engineering, then administrative, then personal protective equipment
- A list of chemical and biological substances and the contamination limits
- Respiratory protection where exposure cannot be reduced to the limit
- Spill and release response, emergency wash facilities, and worker training

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Saskatchewan contractors whose hiring clients require the chemical and biological hazards element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to industrial maintenance, oil and gas, manufacturing, environmental, and construction companies whose workers handle solvents, process chemicals, or biological agents. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags harmful substances, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the chemical and biological review the first time
- Use the Saskatchewan version. ISNetworld reviewers reject harmful substances answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to the Saskatchewan OHS legislation.
- Keep your substance list current. The document states a list of chemical and biological substances is maintained and available to workers. A hiring client audit will ask to see it.
- Show the hierarchy of controls. A reviewer wants engineering controls first, then administrative controls, with personal protective equipment as the last line.
