Overview
What this RAVS document does
A worker who is not fit for duty - through injury, illness, fatigue, or impairment - is a risk to themselves and the crew. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor confirms workers are fit before they start.
This document states your company's fit for duty program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: training and qualifications, the physical demands analysis, alcohol and drug testing, modified work, and monitoring and support. It is written to a national standard. 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 fit for duty 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 fit for duty program with purpose and scope
- Training and qualifications so workers can safely perform their tasks
- The physical demands analysis used to match workers to duties
- The expectation that workers report fit for duty, free of impairment
- Modified work for injured workers where practicable
- Monitoring of unsafe behaviour and access to assistance and support

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the fit for duty element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because fitness for duty applies to every worker on a safety-sensitive worksite, this element appears across construction, oil and gas, utilities, and industrial work. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags fit for duty, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the fit for duty review the first time
- Cover the full picture. A reviewer wants to see that fit for duty addresses injury, illness, fatigue, and impairment - not just drug and alcohol.
- Offer modified work. The document states modified work is offered to injured workers where practicable. A reviewer expects a real return-to-work approach.
- Keep training and assessment records. The document states workers are trained and physical demands are analyzed. A hiring client audit will ask to see those records.
