Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hydrogen sulphide is one of the most serious hazards in Alberta oil and gas. It is toxic at low concentrations, can deaden a worker's sense of smell, and is heavier than air. Any operator with sour service will require a strong H2S answer in ISNetworld before a contractor sets foot on the lease, and a generic answer will not clear review.
This document states your company's H2S program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the properties and exposure limits of H2S, how the atmosphere is monitored, the detection and respiratory equipment used, worker training, and the emergency response for a release. Each point ties back to Part 4 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
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that an H2S answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the H2S element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written H2S program with a clear purpose and scope
- The properties of H2S and the occupational exposure limits that apply
- How the atmosphere is monitored and what detection equipment is used
- Respiratory protection and escape equipment for an H2S environment
- Worker training, including recognized H2S certification
- The emergency response for an H2S release

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the H2S element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to companies in sour oil and gas service - well servicing, drilling, completions, pipeline, gas plants, and the trades and transport that support them. If your crews work where hydrogen sulphide may be present, and a hiring client's configuration flags H2S, this is the document the reviewer needs.
Practical guidance
How to pass the H2S review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 4 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta sour service work.
- Make sure your workers hold recognized H2S certification. For oil and gas worksites, H2S Alive is the certification operators expect - a general online awareness course will not get workers on a sour site.
- Keep monitor calibration and bump-test records. The RAVS states the atmosphere is monitored with calibrated detection equipment, and a hiring client audit will ask to see the records.

Common questions
Questions about this RAVS
- What does the ISNetworld H2S RAVS include?
- It is a complete, pre-written H2S program written as an ISNetworld RAVS answer. It covers H2S properties and exposure limits, atmospheric monitoring, detection and respiratory equipment, worker training, and emergency response for a release, all referenced to Part 4 of the Alberta OHS Code.
- Is this written to Alberta legislation?
- Yes. The document is tied to Part 4 of the Alberta OHS Code and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. ISNetworld reviewers verify provincial answers against provincial legislation, so an Alberta contractor should use the Alberta version.
- Does this replace H2S training for my workers?
- No. The RAVS is your written H2S program. Workers entering a sour environment still need recognized H2S certification - H2S Alive for oil and gas worksites. The document states that workers are trained and certified; the training itself is separate.
- How long does it take to complete and upload?
- Most companies finish in 15 to 30 minutes. You add your company name, confirm a few company-specific details, then copy the content into your ISNetworld RAVS questionnaire.
