Overview
What this RAVS document does
A worker servicing equipment that is unexpectedly energized or releases stored energy can be killed in an instant. Some hiring clients hold contractors to the highest lockout standard across jurisdictions, and this version of the RAVS is written for that expectation.
This document states your company's lockout tagout program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: isolating energy sources, maintenance while equipment is in operation, isolating piping and pipelines, the zero-energy state, lockout and tagout devices, group lockout, the removal of locks, and training. It is written to the highest regulatory 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 lockout 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 lockout tagout program built to the highest regulatory standard
- Isolating energy sources before machinery or equipment is serviced
- Testing to verify a zero-energy state before work begins
- Personal locks uniquely identified to the worker who applied them
- Group lockout for multiple workers or multiple energy-isolating devices
- The removal of locks and worker training, including awareness training

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the lockout element at the highest regulatory standard in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to maintenance, industrial, manufacturing, electrical, and construction companies whose hiring clients hold lockout to the most stringent standard. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags lockout tagout at the highest regulatory standard, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the lockout tagout review the first time
- Verify zero energy. The document states equipment is tested to confirm it is inoperative before work begins. A reviewer expects that verification step, not just lock application.
- Use personal locks. The document states each worker applies a personal lock uniquely identified to them, and only that worker removes it.
- Cover group lockout. The document sets out a group lockout process with a key securing system. A reviewer expects that for complex jobs.
