Overview
What this RAVS document does
Forestry work combines chainsaws, falling timber, heavy equipment, and remote, isolated worksites. Hiring clients require a forestry answer because they need to see a contractor controls those hazards and can reach help when crews are far from anyone.
This document states your company's forestry program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: safe felling and bucking practices, chainsaw and equipment safety, mobile equipment, working alone and communication in remote areas, emergency response, and worker competency. Each point ties back to Part 34 of the Alberta OHS Code. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
What the reviewer verifies

- Safe felling, bucking, and timber-handling practices
- Chainsaw and equipment safety
- Mobile and heavy equipment in the bush
- Working alone and communication in remote areas
- Emergency response and worker competency

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the forestry element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to logging, harvesting, silviculture, and forest-management contractors. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags forestry, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the forestry review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 34 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta forestry work.
- Cover remote-work communication. A reviewer wants a real way for isolated crews to reach help - forestry work is often well beyond cell coverage.
- Document worker competency. Felling and chainsaw work demand trained, competent workers - keep that training documented.
