Overview
What this RAVS document does
Personal protective equipment is the last line of defence when a hazard cannot be eliminated or engineered out, and almost every ISNetworld questionnaire includes a PPE element. A hiring client wants to see more than a list of gear - it wants a program that selects PPE from a hazard assessment, maintains it, and trains workers to use it.
This document states your company's PPE program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how PPE is selected for the hazard, what equipment is provided, how it is inspected and maintained, and how workers are trained on its use and limits. Each point ties back to Part 18 of the Alberta OHS Code. 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 the PPE element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written PPE program with a clear purpose and scope
- How PPE is selected from a hazard assessment for the head, eyes, hearing, hands, feet, and body
- How PPE is provided, fitted, and replaced
- Inspection, care, maintenance, and storage of equipment
- Worker training on the correct use and the limitations of their PPE
- Roles and responsibilities for employers, supervisors, and workers

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the PPE element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because every worksite relies on protective equipment of some kind, PPE is one of the most widely required elements - it applies to construction, oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, transportation, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags PPE, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the PPE review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 18 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Tie PPE to a hazard assessment. A reviewer wants to see that the equipment your crews wear was chosen for the actual hazards, not picked off a generic list.
- Keep training and inspection records. The RAVS states that workers are trained and equipment is inspected. A hiring client audit will ask to see both.
