Overview
What this RAVS document does
Ladders are used every day and are a common source of fall injuries. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor trains workers, inspects ladders, uses the right ladder for the surface, and sets ladders up correctly.
This document states your company's ladder program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: ladder hazards, inspection and maintenance, personal protective equipment, electrical safety, acceptable ladders, step ladders, extension ladders, portable ladders, and general precautions. It is written to NWT regulations. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

ISNetworld does not just check that a ladders 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 program with worker training
- Pre-use inspection and removal of damaged ladders from service
- Non-conductive ladders for work on energized electrical equipment
- CSA-approved ladders selected for the work surface
- Correct set-up of step, extension, and portable ladders
- Three-point contact and general ladder precautions

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the ladders element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, trades, maintenance, and industrial companies in the Northwest Territories whose workers use ladders for access or work.

Practical guidance
How to pass the ladders review the first time
- Inspect before use. The document states ladders are inspected before use and damaged ladders are removed from service, tagged, and repaired or replaced. A reviewer expects that inspection.
- Match the ladder to the work. The document states CSA-approved ladders are selected for the surface, and non-conductive ladders are used for work on energized electrical equipment. A reviewer expects that selection.
- Maintain three-point contact. The document states workers face the ladder and maintain three-point contact when climbing up or down. A reviewer expects that rule.
