Overview
What this RAVS document does
A respirator only protects a worker if it is the right one for the hazard, fits properly, and is maintained. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see a real respiratory protection program, not just a box of dust masks.
This document states your company's respiratory protection program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: assignment of responsibility, the hazard assessment, training, medical evaluation, fit testing, working in dangerous atmospheres, cleaning and maintenance, storage, and program evaluation. Each point ties back to The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. 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 respiratory protection 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 respiratory protection program with assigned responsibility
- A hazard assessment that identifies where respirators are required
- Worker training, medical evaluation, and fit testing
- Selecting the proper respirator for the specific hazard
- Atmosphere-supplying respirators for atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health
- Cleaning, maintenance, storage, and program evaluation

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Saskatchewan contractors whose hiring clients require the respiratory protection element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to companies whose workers may be exposed to dust, fumes, gas, mist, or vapour - construction, oil and gas, industrial maintenance, abrasive blasting, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags respiratory protection, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the respiratory protection review the first time
- Use the Saskatchewan version. The document is written to the Saskatchewan OHS legislation, which is what a Saskatchewan hiring client expects.
- Keep fit test and medical records. The document states workers are fit tested and medically evaluated before wearing a respirator. A hiring client audit will ask to see those records.
- Match the respirator to the hazard. A reviewer wants to see that the respirator is selected from the hazard assessment, including atmosphere-supplying respirators for IDLH atmospheres.
