Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hazard identification and risk assessment is the foundation of a safety program - it is how a contractor finds hazards, judges their risk, and decides on controls. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that process written down.
This document states your company's hazard identification and risk assessment program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: pre-job hazard identification, worksite risk assessment, written and current documentation, worker participation, the mental risk assessment steps, the risk matrix, the hierarchy of control measures, and training. It is written to a national standard. 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 identification and risk assessment program with purpose and scope
- Pre-job hazard identification by a competent person
- Worksite risk assessment done before and during work
- Written, current, and repeated hazard assessments with worker participation
- A risk matrix that ranks risk by consequence and probability
- The hierarchy of controls: engineering, then administrative, then personal protective equipment

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the hazard identification and risk assessment element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because hazard assessment is the foundation of any safety program, this element appears 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
- Show the risk matrix. The document ranks risk by consequence and probability. A reviewer wants to see how your company prioritizes hazards.
- Show the hierarchy of controls. A reviewer wants engineering controls considered first, then administrative controls, with personal protective equipment as the last line.
- Keep field-level hazard assessments. The document states hazard assessments are documented, written, and kept current. A hiring client audit will ask to see those records.
