Overview
What this RAVS document does
Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent and builds quietly over a career. Hiring clients require a noise answer because they need to see a contractor measures noise, controls it where it can, and protects hearing where it cannot.
This document states your company's noise exposure and hearing conservation program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how noise exposure is assessed, noise controls, hearing protection, audiometric testing, and worker training. Each point ties back to Part 16 of the Alberta OHS Code. 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 noise answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the noise exposure element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written noise exposure and hearing conservation program with a clear purpose and scope
- How noise exposure is assessed against the occupational exposure limits
- Noise controls applied where reasonably practicable
- Hearing protection selection and use
- Audiometric testing where exposure warrants it
- Worker training on noise hazards and hearing protection

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the noise element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and any company whose crews work around loud equipment or processes. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags noise exposure, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the noise review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 16 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Assess before you protect. A reviewer wants noise exposure assessed against the exposure limits, with controls considered before hearing protection.
- Keep audiometric records. Where audiometric testing applies, keep the records current for a hiring client audit.
