Overview
What this RAVS document does
A machine that energizes or releases stored energy unexpectedly during service can kill the worker on it. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor isolates energy sources, verifies zero energy, and secures energy-isolating devices with personal locks.
This document states your company's lockout and tagout program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: responsibilities, isolating energy sources, maintenance while equipment is in operation, isolating energy on piping and pipelines, zero energy, lockout and tagout devices, group lockout, and the removal of locks. It is written to NWT 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 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 and tagout program with assigned responsibilities
- Isolation of energy sources before service or repair
- Verification of zero energy before work begins
- Each energy-isolating device secured with a personal lock
- A group lockout process for multiple workers or devices
- Removal of a personal lock only by the worker who installed it

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the lockout or hazardous energy control element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, industrial, and oil and gas companies in the Northwest Territories whose workers service or maintain machinery and equipment. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags lockout and tagout, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the lockout and tagout review the first time
- Isolate the energy. The document states all hazardous energy at the work location is isolated by activating and securing an energy-isolating device before service. A reviewer expects that isolation.
- Verify zero energy. The document states a worker does not perform work until energy sources are isolated and the equipment is tested to verify it is inoperative. A reviewer expects that verification.
- One worker, one lock. The document states each personal lock is marked to identify its worker, and a lock is removed only by the worker who installed it. A reviewer expects that rule.
