Overview
What this RAVS document does
When an incident happens on a worksite, the first few minutes decide the outcome. Hiring clients require an emergency preparedness answer because they need to know a contractor has planned for the emergencies its work can create - a fire, a medical event, a spill, or a severe-weather evacuation - rather than improvising.
This document states your company's emergency preparedness and response program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the emergency response plan, the roles assigned during an emergency, first aid coverage, evacuation and muster procedures, and how drills keep the plan sharp. Each point ties back to Part 7 of the Alberta OHS Code. 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 emergency preparedness answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the emergency preparedness and response element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written emergency response plan with a clear purpose and scope
- The emergencies the plan addresses, based on the work and the worksite
- Roles and responsibilities assigned during an emergency
- First aid coverage, equipment, and emergency contacts
- Evacuation routes, muster points, and headcount procedures
- Emergency drills and how the plan is reviewed and kept current

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the emergency preparedness element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Every operation faces the possibility of an emergency, so the element is widely required across construction, oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, and transportation. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags emergency preparedness, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the emergency preparedness review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 7 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Match the plan to your real emergencies. A reviewer wants the plan to address the emergencies your work can actually create, not a generic template. Confirm it reflects your operation before you upload.
- Run and document drills. The RAVS states that the plan is tested with drills. Keep drill records current - a hiring client audit will ask to see that the plan has been practiced.
