Overview
What this RAVS document does
Radiation - ionizing from sources and gauges, or non-ionizing from lasers and radiofrequency equipment - is a hazard a worker cannot see or feel until the dose is done. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor controls exposure and monitors dose.
This document states your company's radiation exposure program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the exposure limits and action levels, the exposure control plan, dose monitoring and dosimetry, radiation surveys, and record keeping. Each point ties back to Part 7 of the BC OHS Regulation. 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 radiation 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 radiation exposure program with purpose and scope
- The exposure limits and action levels for ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
- When an exposure control plan is required
- Dose monitoring and the use of personal dosimeters
- Radiation surveys conducted to the applicable safety code
- Record keeping for radiation surveys and exposure monitoring

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the radiation element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to companies that use industrial radiography, nuclear density gauges, lasers, or radiofrequency equipment - inspection, testing, surveying, and industrial maintenance contractors. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags radiation exposure, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the radiation exposure review the first time
- Use the BC version. The document is written to Part 7 of the BC OHS Regulation, which is the radiation standard WorkSafeBC enforces.
- Keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable. A reviewer wants to see that exposure is controlled below the limits, not just held at them.
- Keep your survey and dosimetry records. The RAVS states radiation surveys are kept for at least ten years and exposure monitoring records are kept for employment plus ten years. Make sure those records exist.
