Overview
What this RAVS document does
Ladders are used on nearly every worksite, and a defective ladder, an unsecured ladder, or a worker over-reaching causes a steady stream of falls. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see a real ladder safety program.
This document states your company's ladder safety program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: ladder hazards, storage, ladder support and securing, inspection, the requirements for stepladders and extension ladders, maintenance, and safe-use precautions. Each point ties back to The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. 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 ladder safety 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 ladder safety program with purpose and scope
- Ladder hazards and the inspection of ladders before each use
- Non-slip feet and securing portable ladders against movement
- The requirements for stepladders and extension ladders
- Three-point contact and safe-use precautions
- Removing defective ladders from service

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Saskatchewan contractors whose hiring clients require the ladder element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because ladders are used across nearly every trade, this element appears in construction, maintenance, electrical, and industrial work. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags ladder safety, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the ladder safety review the first time
- Use the Saskatchewan version. The document is written to the Saskatchewan OHS legislation, which is what a Saskatchewan hiring client expects.
- Inspect and tag ladders. The document states ladders are inspected before each use and defective ladders are removed from service and tagged. A hiring client audit will check this.
- Secure the ladder. The document states portable ladders have non-slip feet and are secured against movement. A reviewer expects that to match practice on site.
