Overview
What this RAVS document does
Fall protection is one of the first elements a hiring client switches on in ISNetworld, because falls remain a leading cause of serious and fatal injury on Alberta worksites. An operator will not approve a contractor whose fall protection answer is thin, generic, or written to the wrong province. A complete, Alberta-specific RAVS answer is what moves your company from pending to approved.
This document states your company's fall protection program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects to see. It sets out when fall protection is required, the systems your crews use, how equipment is inspected, how workers are trained, and how a fallen worker is rescued, with each point tied back to the Alberta OHS Code. It is the same content On-Track Safety uses when managing fall protection compliance for contractor clients.
The file arrives in editable Word format. You replace the placeholder company name with your own, confirm the company-specific details such as your competent person and your equipment standard, then copy the content into the ISNetworld questionnaire. Most companies complete and upload it in under 30 minutes.
What the reviewer verifies
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that a fall protection answer exists. A reviewer verifies that the answer addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the fall protection element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written fall protection program with a clear purpose and scope
- The height at which fall protection becomes mandatory, and the conditions that lower that threshold
- The hierarchy of fall protection: guardrails and elimination first, then travel restraint, then fall arrest
- Selection, inspection, and maintenance of fall protection equipment
- Worker training and competency, including who is authorized to work at height
- A fall rescue plan, so a worker suspended in a harness is retrieved quickly
- The specific regulatory references the answer is built on

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the fall protection element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. That includes construction, oil and gas, utilities, roofing, telecommunications, and industrial maintenance companies, and any operation where workers are exposed to a fall. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags fall protection, or your crews work at height for major Alberta operators, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the fall protection review the first time
- Use the Alberta version, not a generic one. ISNetworld reviewers reject fall protection answers that cite the wrong jurisdiction or omit the provincial trigger height. This document is written to Part 9 of the Alberta OHS Code.
- Make the document match your worksite. If the answer describes travel restraint but your crews work in fall arrest, change the document before you upload it. A reviewer who finds a mismatch sends it back.
- Be ready to show the records behind it. The RAVS states that you inspect equipment and train workers. A hiring client audit will ask to see the inspection logs and training certificates, so keep them current.

Common questions
Questions about this RAVS
- What does the ISNetworld fall protection RAVS include?
- It is a complete, pre-written fall protection program written as an ISNetworld RAVS answer. It covers when fall protection is required, the systems and equipment your crews use, equipment inspection, worker training and competency, and a fall rescue procedure, all referenced to Part 9 of the Alberta OHS Code.
- Is this written to Alberta legislation?
- Yes. Every requirement in the document is tied to Part 9 of the Alberta OHS Code and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. ISNetworld reviewers verify provincial answers against provincial legislation, so an Alberta contractor should use the Alberta version rather than a generic one.
- Do I still need a fall protection program if I buy this RAVS?
- The RAVS is your fall protection program, written in the format ISNetworld expects. What you still need is the practice behind it: trained workers, inspected equipment, and a rescue capability on site. The document states what your company does, and a hiring client can ask to verify it.
- How is the Alberta version different from the Canada Industry Practices version?
- The Alberta version references the Alberta OHS Code and the provincial trigger height. The Canada Industry Practices version references national standards and is used when a hiring client does not require a province-specific answer. If your work is primarily in Alberta, use the Alberta version.
- How long does it take to complete and upload?
- Most companies finish in 15 to 30 minutes. You add your company name, confirm a few company-specific details such as your competent person and equipment standard, then copy the content into your ISNetworld RAVS questionnaire.
