Overview
What this RAVS document does
A dropped load, an overloaded crane, or a lift made by an untrained operator can be fatal. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor lifts with trained operators, rated equipment, and documented inspections.
This document states your company's cranes, hoists and lifting devices program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: operator training, rated capacity, competent riggers, hoisting practice, signallers, log books, and inspection. 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 cranes and hoists 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 cranes, hoists and lifting devices program with purpose and scope
- Training so only competent designated operators run a hoist or crane
- The rated load and the rule against exceeding it
- Competent riggers, hoisting practice, and the use of a signaller
- Log books for hoists and cranes over the rated-load threshold
- Inspection before each shift and the engineer-supervised periodic inspection

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Saskatchewan contractors whose hiring clients require the cranes and hoists element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks.

Practical guidance
How to pass the cranes and hoists review the first time
- Use the Saskatchewan version. ISNetworld reviewers reject cranes and hoists answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to the Saskatchewan OHS legislation.
- Keep your operator and rigger training records. The document states only competent designated operators and competent riggers do the work. A hiring client audit will ask to see those records.
- Maintain the crane log books. The RAVS states a log book records hours of service and all inspections, maintenance, and calibration. Make sure those log books exist before you upload.
