Overview
What this RAVS document does
A pandemic disrupts a contractor's workforce, supply chain, and operations in ways a physical emergency does not. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor has a pandemic plan with a coordinator, controls, and a continuation plan.
This document states your company's pandemic preparedness program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the pandemic disease plan coordinator, respiratory hygiene and hand washing, training, monitoring external communications, triggers for plan activation, cross-training, work at home, the continuation plan, and the management of cases at work. It is written to a national standard. 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 pandemic preparedness 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 pandemic preparedness program with a designated plan coordinator
- Respiratory hygiene and hand washing measures
- Worker training and the monitoring of public health communications
- Triggers for activating the pandemic contingency plan
- Cross-training, flexible work, and a business continuation plan
- The management of suspected cases at the workplace

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the pandemic preparedness element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because a pandemic can affect any workforce, this element appears across construction, oil and gas, utilities, and industrial work. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags pandemic preparedness, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the pandemic preparedness review the first time
- Name the coordinator. The document states a pandemic disease plan coordinator is identified. A reviewer expects a named person or team with contact information.
- Define the activation trigger. The document states the contingency plan triggers at a defined absenteeism level. A reviewer expects a clear trigger.
- Cover business continuity. The document includes cross-training and a continuation plan so critical services hold during high absenteeism.
