Overview
What this RAVS document does
Part 2 of the Alberta OHS Code requires every employer to assess its worksites for hazards and to eliminate or control them. Hiring clients require this element because the hazard assessment process is the engine of a safety program - if it is weak, everything downstream is weak.
This document states your company's hazard assessment, elimination and control process in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how hazards are assessed, how risk is rated, how controls follow the hierarchy of elimination, engineering, administration, and PPE, how workers are involved, and how assessments are reviewed. Each point ties back to Part 2 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 a hazard assessment 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 hazard assessment, elimination and control process with a clear purpose and scope
- Formal and field-level hazard assessments
- A consistent method for rating risk
- Controls applied through the hierarchy: elimination, engineering, administration, then PPE
- Worker involvement in identifying hazards
- Review and revision of assessments when work changes

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the hazard assessment, elimination and control element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because Part 2 applies to every Alberta employer, the element is required across construction, oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags hazard assessment, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the hazard assessment review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 2 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Apply the hierarchy of controls. A reviewer wants controls that start with elimination and engineering - a program that jumps straight to PPE reads as weak.
- Keep assessments current. The RAVS states that assessments are reviewed when work changes. Keep them dated and updated for a hiring client audit.
