Overview
What this RAVS document does
Falls are a leading cause of serious injury on BC worksites, and fall protection is one of the first elements a hiring client switches on in ISNetworld. An operator will not approve a contractor whose fall protection answer is generic or written to the wrong province.
This document states your company's fall protection program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: when fall protection is required, the systems used, equipment inspection, worker training, and fall rescue. Each point ties back to Part 11 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 a fall protection answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document 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 under BC regulation
- The hierarchy of fall protection: guardrails, then restraint, then fall arrest
- Selection, inspection, and maintenance of fall protection equipment
- Worker training and competency for work at height
- A fall rescue plan for a worker suspended in a harness

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the fall protection element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks.

If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags fall protection, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the fall protection review the first time
- Use the BC version. ISNetworld reviewers reject fall protection answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to Part 11 of the BC OHS Regulation and is what WorkSafeBC enforces.
- Match the systems to your work. The fall protection systems in the document should match what your crews actually use.
- Keep equipment and training records. The RAVS states that equipment is inspected and workers are trained. A hiring client audit will ask to see both.
