Overview
What this RAVS document does
Alberta legislation expects workers to be competent for the work they do - trained, experienced, and qualified for the task and its hazards. Hiring clients require a job competency answer because they need to see a contractor confirms and documents that competency rather than assuming it.
This document states your company's job competency program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how competency requirements are defined for each role, how training and qualifications are verified, how new and transferred workers are brought up to competency, and how competency records are kept. Each point ties back to Alberta OHS legislation. 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 job competency 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 job competency program with a clear purpose and scope
- How competency requirements are defined for each role and task
- How training, certification, and qualifications are verified
- How new and transferred workers reach competency
- Ongoing competency, including refresher training
- Competency records and how they are kept

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the job competency element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because every employer must ensure workers are competent, the element is required across construction, oil and gas, utilities, transportation, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags job competency, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the job competency review the first time
- Keep the answer Alberta-specific. The document reflects Alberta OHS legislation, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Define competency by role. A reviewer wants competency requirements set for each role and task, not a single generic statement.
- Keep competency records. The RAVS states that competency is documented. Keep training certificates and verification records current for a hiring client audit.
