Overview
What this RAVS document does
BC requires a written emergency plan appropriate to the hazards of the workplace, and hiring clients configure this element to confirm a contractor has thought through evacuation, notification, and re-entry before an emergency happens rather than after. A one-line answer is sent back.
This document states your company's emergency procedures in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: a written plan reviewed annually, a site-specific risk assessment, evacuation procedures, and procedures for spill cleanup and safe re-entry. Each point ties back to Part 4 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 emergency procedures 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 emergency plan appropriate to the hazards of the workplace
- A site-specific risk assessment of hazardous substance release, fire, and other emergencies
- Evacuation procedures that notify, evacuate, and account for all workers
- Notification of the fire department and adjacent workplaces or residences
- Procedures for spill cleanup, control of a hazardous release, and safe re-entry testing
- An annual review of the plan in consultation with the joint committee or worker representative

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the emergency procedures element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because every BC workplace needs a written emergency plan, this element appears across construction, oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags emergency procedures, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the emergency procedures review the first time
- Use the BC version. The document is written to Part 4 of the BC OHS Regulation, which is the emergency-plan standard WorkSafeBC enforces.
- Make the plan site-specific. A reviewer wants to see that the risk assessment and evacuation procedures reflect the actual hazards of your worksites, not a generic office scenario.
- Keep your annual review records. The RAVS states the plan is reviewed annually with the joint committee or worker representative. A hiring client audit will ask to see that review.
