Overview
What this RAVS document does
Equipment that starts up or releases stored energy during maintenance causes some of the worst worksite injuries. Hiring clients require a hazardous energy control answer because they need to see a contractor isolates, locks out, and verifies energy before anyone works on equipment.
This document states your company's hazardous energy control program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: identification of energy sources, isolation and lockout procedures, lockout devices, verification of zero energy, group lockout, and worker training. Each point ties back to Part 15 of the Alberta OHS Code. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- Identification of all energy sources - electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, and stored
- Isolation and lockout procedures, and the lockout devices used
- Verification of a zero-energy state before work begins
- Group lockout and shift-change procedures
- Worker training on the lockout process

Practical guidance
How to pass the hazardous energy control review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 15 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Cover every energy type. A reviewer wants electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, and stored energy all addressed - not just electrical lockout.
- Verify zero energy. The RAVS describes verifying a zero-energy state before work. Confirm your crews actually test, not just assume, that the equipment is safe.
