Overview
What this RAVS document does
Safety rules only hold if they are enforced consistently. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor has a written progressive discipline policy that applies the same way to everyone.
This document states your company's progressive discipline program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the commitment to a strong safety program, what triggers disciplinary action, the steps of the enforcement progression, who enforces the rules, and documentation of violations. 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 progressive discipline 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 progressive discipline program with purpose and scope
- What triggers disciplinary action, including breaches of rules and procedures
- The steps of the enforcement progression
- Who is responsible for enforcing the rules
- Documentation of violations on an employee warning form
- Communication of the policy to workers at orientation

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the progressive discipline element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because consistent enforcement supports any safety program, this element appears across construction, oil and gas, utilities, and industrial work. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags progressive discipline, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the progressive discipline review the first time
- Apply discipline consistently. A reviewer wants to see that the enforcement progression applies the same way to all workers, including supervisors.
- Communicate the policy at orientation. The document states the disciplinary program is explained at orientation and workers sign off. A reviewer expects that.
- Document violations. The document states violations are documented on an employee warning form. A hiring client audit will ask to see that documentation.
