Overview
What this RAVS document does
Personal protective equipment is the final line of defence between a worker and a hazard. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor selects PPE from a hazard assessment, supplies it, trains workers, and maintains it.
This document states your company's PPE program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the definition and precautions, the selection of PPE, responsibilities, flame-resistant clothing, footwear, head protection, noise, hand and body protection, eye protection, respiratory protection, fall protection, and reflective clothing. 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 PPE 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 PPE program with PPE selected from a hazard assessment
- PPE made available and supplied to workers
- Worker training in the use, care, maintenance, and limitations of PPE
- Head, foot, eye, and face protection to CSA standards
- Flame-resistant clothing where there is a flash fire hazard
- Damaged PPE removed from service and tagged out of service

Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the personal protective equipment element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks.

Practical guidance
How to pass the PPE review the first time
- Select PPE from a hazard assessment. The document states PPE is selected based on the hazard assessment, safety data sheets, customer requirements, and the applicable legislation. A reviewer expects that selection basis.
- Train on use and limitations. The document states all employees receive training in the use, care, maintenance, limitations, and storage of the PPE issued to them. A reviewer expects that training.
- Remove damaged PPE. The document states PPE of questionable reliability or in need of repair is removed from service immediately and tagged out of service. A reviewer expects that removal.
