Overview
What this RAVS document does
The general duties element covers the baseline obligations of a safe workplace - employer and worker duties, supervision, training, and the maintenance of equipment. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see those fundamentals written down.
This document states your company's general safety duties in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: employer duties, worker responsibilities, young worker restrictions, providing information, contractor notice, supervision, training, housekeeping, and the maintenance and reporting of defective equipment. Each point ties back to The Saskatchewan Employment Act. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- Employer duties for plant, systems of work, and the working environment
- Worker responsibilities to use safeguards and follow safe work procedures
- Competent supervision and the supervisor's required knowledge
- Worker training on starting work or moving to a different hazard or worksite
- Maintenance, reporting, and removal of defective equipment
