Overview
What this RAVS document does
Electrical hazards cause severe injuries - shock, arc flash, and arc blast. Hiring clients require an electrical safety answer because they need to see a contractor controls those hazards through trained workers, energy isolation, and safe work practices.
This document states your company's electrical safety program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: electrical hazard identification, safe work practices, de-energization and isolation, arc flash awareness, and worker competency. Each point ties back to Part 19 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 an electrical safety 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 electrical safety program with a clear purpose and scope
- How electrical hazards are identified and assessed
- Safe work practices for working on or near electrical equipment
- De-energization, isolation, and lockout before electrical work
- Arc flash awareness and the protective equipment it requires
- Worker training and the competency required for electrical work

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the electrical safety element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks.

Practical guidance
How to pass the electrical safety review the first time
- Use the BC version. The document is written to Part 19 of the BC OHS Regulation, the framework WorkSafeBC enforces and ISNetworld reviewers expect for BC work.
- Match the answer to your scope. If your crews only work near electrical equipment rather than on it, the document should reflect that.
- Confirm worker competency. Electrical work is expected to be done by qualified, trained workers - keep that documented.
