Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hydrogen sulphide is toxic at low concentrations and a serious hazard in BC oil and gas work. Any operator with sour service will require a strong H2S answer in ISNetworld before a contractor sets foot on site.
This document states your company's H2S program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the properties and exposure limits of H2S, atmospheric monitoring, detection and respiratory equipment, worker training, and emergency response. Each point ties back to the BC OHS Regulation. 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 exposure limits that apply in BC
- 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 BC 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, pipeline, gas plants, and the trades and transport that support them. If 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 BC version. The document is written to the BC OHS Regulation, the framework WorkSafeBC enforces and ISNetworld reviewers expect for BC work.
- Make sure workers hold recognized H2S certification. For oil and gas worksites, H2S Alive is the certification operators expect.
- Keep monitor calibration records. The RAVS states the atmosphere is monitored with calibrated detection equipment, and an audit will ask to see them.
