Overview
What this RAVS document does
Powered mobile equipment moves heavy loads around workers, and a struck-by or rollover incident is often fatal. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor trains operators, inspects equipment, and controls the hazards.
This document states your company's powered mobile equipment program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: operator training and authorization, operator responsibilities, refuelling, inspections and maintenance records, pre-use inspections, securing unattended equipment, rollover protection, seat belts, and overhead hazards. 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.

- Operator responsibilities and safe refuelling

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

Practical guidance
How to pass the powered mobile equipment review the first time
- Keep operator authorizations. The document states only trained, competent, authorized workers operate the equipment. A hiring client audit will ask to see that training.
- Document pre-use inspections. The document states a visual pre-inspection is conducted and recorded before each use. Make sure those records exist before you upload.
- Cover rollover protection and seat belts. The document states equipment that may roll over has rollover protective structures and that operators use seat belts.
