Overview
What this RAVS document does
Falls remain a leading cause of serious and fatal injury, 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 thin or written to the wrong standard.
This document states your company's fall protection program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: when fall protection is required, the fall protection plan, worker training, fall and travel restraint systems, anchors and guardrails, equipment inspection, and the removal of defective equipment. It is written to the highest regulatory standard and the CSA Z259 series. 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 this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written fall protection program with a clear purpose and scope
- When fall protection is required and the fall protection plan
- Worker training in the safe use of the fall protection system
- Fall and travel restraint systems and equipment to the CSA Z259 series
- Anchor strength, guardrails, and clearance distances
- Equipment inspection and the removal of defective equipment

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the fall protection element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, roofing, oil and gas, utilities, and any company whose workers are exposed to a fall. 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 a written fall protection plan. The document states a plan specifies the fall hazards, the system, the anchors, the clearance, and the rescue procedure. A reviewer expects that plan.
- Keep training records. The document states workers are trained in the safe use of the fall protection system before working at height. A hiring client audit will ask to see that training.
- Remove and recertify after a fall. The document states a system that arrests a fall is removed from service and not returned until recertified by a professional engineer or the manufacturer.
