Overview
What this RAVS document does
Electricity injures and kills through shock, burns, and arc flash. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor controls electrical work with qualified workers, hazard assessment, lockout, and arc flash protection.
This document states your company's electrical safety program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the hazards of electricity, worker qualification and training, hazard assessment, arc flash protection and PPE, lockout, work near power lines, hazardous-location classification, and power cords. Each point ties back to CSA Z462. 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 purpose and scope
- Qualification and training of workers who do electrical work
- Hazard assessments before workers enter a high voltage work area
- Arc flash protection, the arc flash boundary, and protective equipment
- Isolation, lockout, and grounding before electrical work begins
- Work near power lines and hazardous-location classification

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the electrical safety element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to electrical, utility, construction, and industrial maintenance companies whose workers install, service, or work near electrical equipment. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags electrical safety, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the electrical safety review the first time
- Confirm worker qualification. The document states only competent, qualified workers do electrical work. A hiring client audit will ask to see those qualifications.
- Address arc flash. The document covers the arc flash boundary, arc flash analysis, and arc-rated PPE. A reviewer expects arc flash to be addressed, not just shock.
- Lock out before work. The document states electrical equipment is isolated, locked out, and grounded before work begins. A reviewer expects that to match practice.
