Overview
What this RAVS document does
A change in equipment, process, personnel, or procedure can introduce new hazards that the original hazard assessment never considered. Hiring clients require a management of change answer because they need to see a contractor evaluates changes for risk before they take effect.
This document states your company's management of change process in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: what triggers a management of change review, how the change is assessed for new hazards, approval before the change proceeds, communication to affected workers, and the record of the change. Each point ties back to Alberta OHS legislation. 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 management of change 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 management of change process with a clear purpose and scope
- What triggers a management of change review - equipment, process, personnel, or procedure
- How a change is assessed for new or altered hazards
- Approval before a change is implemented
- Communication of the change to affected workers
- The record kept of the change and its review

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the management of change element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It is common in oil and gas, industrial maintenance, and manufacturing, where process and equipment changes are frequent. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags management of change, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the management of change review the first time
- Keep the answer Alberta-specific. The document reflects Alberta OHS legislation, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Define the triggers clearly. A reviewer wants to see what kinds of change require a review - equipment, process, personnel, procedure - so the process is actually used.
- Re-assess hazards for the change. The RAVS ties management of change to hazard assessment. A change should prompt a fresh look at the hazards it creates.
