Overview
What this RAVS document does
Contact with an energized overhead power line is often fatal. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor trains workers, establishes a safe limit of approach, notifies the power line operator, and uses a signal person.
This document states your company's overhead power lines program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: training, the safe limit of approach, operator notification, the signal person, maintaining safe clearances, and worksite materials. It is written to Manitoba 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 an overhead power lines 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 overhead power lines program with worker training
- A safe limit of approach established before work begins
- Contact with the power line operator and confirmation of voltage
- Operator notification where work is closer than the safe limit
- A signal person where equipment may contact a power line
- Maintaining safe clearances and controlling worksite materials

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the overhead power lines element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, civil, utility, and crane companies in Manitoba whose workers operate equipment near overhead power lines. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags overhead power lines, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the overhead power lines review the first time
- Establish the safe limit of approach. The document states no work is performed within 7 metres of an energized power line until the operator is contacted and the safe limit is established. A reviewer expects that distance.
- Notify the operator. The document states the power line operator is notified where work must be done closer than the safe limit, so the line can be de-energized, relocated, or isolated. A reviewer expects that notification.
- Use a signal person. The document states a signal person is used where equipment may contact an overhead power line, positioned to see the operator and the equipment. A reviewer expects that signal person.
