Overview
What this RAVS document does
Equipment that fails in service can injure a worker and stop a job. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor maintains its equipment on a planned schedule rather than running it to failure.
This document states your company's preventative maintenance program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the equipment inventory, maintenance activities and records, the removal of defective equipment from service, and the maintenance schedule. 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 preventative maintenance 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 preventative maintenance program with purpose and scope
- A complete inventory of equipment and machinery, kept current
- Maintenance scheduled by time, usage, or manufacturer recommendation
- Maintenance activities documented and records retained
- Defective equipment removed from service until repaired or replaced
- A maintenance schedule that minimizes interference with production

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the preventative maintenance element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to companies that operate equipment, machinery, or fleet - construction, industrial, oil and gas, and maintenance companies. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags preventative maintenance, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the preventative maintenance review the first time
- Keep the equipment inventory current. The document states a complete inventory is maintained and new equipment is added. A hiring client audit will ask to see it.
- Schedule maintenance. The document states maintenance is scheduled by time, usage, or manufacturer recommendation. A reviewer expects a planned schedule, not run-to-failure.
- Keep maintenance records. The document states maintenance paperwork is retained for the life of the equipment. A reviewer expects those records.
