Overview
What this RAVS document does
Demolition carries the hazards of construction plus the unknowns of a structure that may have been modified, weakened, or built differently than its drawings show. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor plans for structural integrity, hazardous materials, and falling debris before the first wall comes down.
This document states your company's demolition program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how structural integrity is maintained, how workers are protected from falling material, how asbestos and other hazardous materials are identified and removed, and how services are disconnected. Each point ties back to Part 20 of the BC OHS Regulation. 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 demolition 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 demolition program with purpose and scope
- How structural integrity is supported during demolition and salvage
- Protection of workers from falling material with barricades, canopies, and catch platforms
- A pre-demolition inspection for asbestos, lead, and other hazardous materials
- Disconnection of electrical, gas, and other services before work begins
- Housekeeping, glass removal, and stabilizing of walls left standing

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the demolition element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to demolition, deconstruction, civil, and structural contractors, and to general contractors and industrial maintenance companies whose crews remove buildings, structures, or equipment. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags demolition, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the demolition review the first time
- Use the BC version. ISNetworld reviewers reject demolition answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to Part 20 of the BC OHS Regulation and is what WorkSafeBC enforces.
- Address the hazardous-materials inspection. A reviewer wants to see that a pre-demolition inspection for asbestos and other hazardous materials happens before work starts, and that work stops if hidden materials are found.
- Keep your engineered support documentation. Where a structure needs a support system, the RAVS states a professional engineer prescribes it. A hiring client audit will ask for the support plan.
