Overview
What this RAVS document does
Falls from height are a leading cause of construction fatalities. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor identifies fall hazards, writes a fall protection plan, trains workers, and inspects fall protection equipment.
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, supervisor and worker responsibilities, fall protection training, fall and travel restraint systems, equipment standards, inspection and maintenance, and removal of defective equipment. It is written to Ontario regulations. 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 the heights that trigger it
- A fall protection plan that names hazards, systems, and anchors
- Fall protection training before a worker uses the system
- Fall and travel restraint systems and equipment standards
- Pre-use inspection of fall protection equipment
- Removal of defective equipment from service

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, industrial, and trades companies in Ontario whose workers perform tasks at height. 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
- State the trigger height. The document states fall protection is used where a worker could fall more than 3 metres or is not protected by a guardrail. A reviewer expects that trigger.
- Write a fall protection plan. The document states a plan names the fall hazards, the system, the anchors, the clearance distances, and the rescue procedures. A reviewer expects that plan.
- Inspect before each shift. The document states fall protection equipment is inspected by the worker before it is used on each work shift. A reviewer expects that inspection.
