Overview
What this RAVS document does
A dropped or swinging load can be fatal, so hiring clients scrutinize the cranes and hoists element. They want to see that lifts are planned, operators and riggers are competent, equipment is inspected, and loads stay within rated limits.
This document states your company's cranes, hoists and lifting devices program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: operator and rigger competency, equipment inspection and certification, lift planning, load limits, and safe operating practices. Each point ties back to Part 6 of the Alberta OHS Code. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

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 the cranes, hoists and lifting devices element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written cranes, hoists and lifting devices program with a clear purpose and scope
- Operator and rigger competency and training
- Equipment inspection, maintenance, and certification
- Lift planning, including critical lifts
- Rated load limits and load charts
- Safe operating practices and signalling

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

Practical guidance
How to pass the cranes and hoists review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 6 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Keep equipment certification current. The RAVS states that lifting equipment is inspected and certified. Keep the certificates and inspection records on file for a hiring client audit.
- Show lift planning. A reviewer expects lifts to be planned, with critical lifts handled under a documented process - not improvised in the field.
