Overview
What this RAVS document does
Musculoskeletal injuries from repetitive motion, forceful exertion, and awkward posture are among the most common work-related injuries. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor identifies and controls these risks.
This document states your company's ergonomics program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: what musculoskeletal injury is, the jobs at highest risk, preventing repetitive strain injury, sprains and strains, the regular activity review, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury, and training. Each point ties back to The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020. 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 ergonomics 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 ergonomics program with purpose and scope
- What a musculoskeletal injury is and what causes it
- A regular review of activities that may cause or aggravate musculoskeletal injury
- Informing at-risk workers of the risk and the early signs and symptoms
- Controls: equipment, work practices, and work-recovery schedules
- Worker training in the safe performance of their work

Practical guidance
How to pass the ergonomics review the first time
- Use the Saskatchewan version. The document is written to the Saskatchewan OHS legislation, which is what a Saskatchewan hiring client expects.
- Review your real activities. The document states the activities that may cause musculoskeletal injury are reviewed regularly. A reviewer wants that review to reflect your actual work.
- Keep your training records. The document states at-risk workers are instructed in the safe performance of their work. A hiring client audit will ask to see that training.
