Overview
What this RAVS document does
Excess noise causes permanent, preventable hearing loss. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor investigates noise exposure, applies engineering controls, posts warnings, and provides hearing protection.
This document states your company's noise program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the noise exposure investigation, warning signs, noise limits, engineering controls, reports on engineering controls, the hearing protector standard, and hearing protection selection, use, and care. It is written to NWT regulations. 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 this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- An investigation of the degree of noise exposure
- Warning signs where sound levels are potentially hazardous
- A noise exposure limit that workers are not exposed above
- Engineering controls used before relying on hearing protectors
- Hearing protectors meeting a recognized CSA standard
- Hearing protection selection, use, care, and training

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the noise element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, manufacturing, and industrial companies in the Northwest Territories whose workers are exposed to high noise levels. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags noise, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the noise review the first time
- Investigate the exposure. The document states a qualified person investigates the degree of exposure where a worker may be exposed at or above 84 dBA. A reviewer expects that investigation.
- Control before relying on protectors. The document states engineering controls are used, so far as reasonably practicable, to reduce sound exposure within the acceptable limits before hearing protectors are relied on. A reviewer expects that hierarchy.
- Post the warning. The document states warning signs are posted where workers may be exposed above the sound level limit. A reviewer expects that signage.
