Overview
What this RAVS document does
Powered mobile equipment - loaders, forklifts, skid steers, and the like - moves heavy loads around workers, and a struck-by or rollover incident is often fatal. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor trains operators, inspects equipment, and controls the hazards.
This document states your company's mobile equipment program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: operator competency and authorization, pre-use and shift inspections, warning devices and guarding, seat belt use, and securing of unattended equipment. Each point ties back to Part 16 of the BC OHS Regulation. 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 mobile equipment 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 mobile equipment program with purpose and scope
- Operator competency, training, and authorization by the employer
- Pre-use and shift inspections that are documented
- Audible warning devices and guarding of exposed moving parts
- Seat belt use and the rider restriction
- Securing unattended equipment against unintentional movement

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the mobile equipment element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, earthworks, warehousing, oil and gas, and industrial companies whose workers operate loaders, forklifts, skid steers, or other powered mobile equipment. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags mobile equipment, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the mobile equipment review the first time
- Use the BC version. ISNetworld reviewers reject mobile equipment answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to Part 16 of the BC OHS Regulation and is what WorkSafeBC enforces.
- Keep your operator authorizations. The RAVS states only workers trained, found competent, and authorized by the employer operate the equipment. A hiring client audit will ask to see those records.
- Document your pre-use inspections. The document states a visual pre-inspection is conducted and recorded before each use. Make sure that checklist exists before you upload.
