Overview
What this RAVS document does
Machinery causes some of the most severe worksite injuries when guards are missing, energy is not controlled, or operators are not trained. Hiring clients require a machine safety answer because they need to see a contractor manages machinery hazards across their full life - operation, maintenance, and service.
This document states your company's machine safety program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: machinery hazard identification, guarding, control of hazardous energy during service, safe operation, inspection and maintenance, and operator competency. Each point ties back to the Alberta OHS Code. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- Guarding of moving and hazardous parts

Practical guidance
How to pass the machine safety review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Cover the full life of the machine. A reviewer wants operation, maintenance, and service all addressed - including locking out energy before service.
- Document operator competency. The RAVS states that operators are competent. Keep that training documented for a hiring client audit.
