Overview
What this RAVS document does
Electricity can cause electrocution, shock, burns, and falls, and incidents happen at both low and high voltages. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor uses qualified workers, plans the job, controls arc flash, and maintains a safe limit of approach to power lines.
This document states your company's electrical safety program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: qualification and training, the job plan, approved equipment, arc flash protection and PPE, shock and flash markings, safety interlocks and lockout, maintenance, the safe limit of approach, hazardous locations, and power cord rules. It is written to Ontario regulations. 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 qualification and training
- A documented job plan before work on or near energized equipment
- Arc flash protection and the personal protective equipment required
- Isolation, lockout, and grounding before electrical work
- A safe limit of approach to overhead power lines
- Approved equipment and rules for hazardous locations

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, construction, industrial, and utility companies in Ontario whose workers install, maintain, 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
- Use qualified workers. The document states only competent and qualified workers install, alter, repair, or maintain electrical equipment. A reviewer expects that qualification rule.
- Maintain the safe limit of approach. The document states no work is performed within 6 metres of an energized power line until the operator is contacted and the safe limit is established. A reviewer expects that distance.
- Isolate and lock out. The document states electrical conductors are isolated, locked out, and grounded before electrical work begins. A reviewer expects that isolation step.
