Overview
What this RAVS document does
Rigging failures - a slipped sling, an overloaded shackle, a worn choker - put a load and everyone near it at risk. Hiring clients require a rigging answer because they need to know slings and hardware are rated, inspected, and used by competent riggers.
This document states your company's rigging program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: rigger competency, the selection and rating of slings and hardware, inspection and removal-from-service criteria, working load limits, and safe rigging practices. Each point ties back to Part 21 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 rigging answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the rigging element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written rigging program with a clear purpose and scope
- Rigger competency and training
- Selection and rating of slings, hardware, and below-the-hook devices
- Inspection and removal-from-service criteria for rigging equipment
- Working load limits and how they are calculated
- Safe rigging practices and load control

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the rigging element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to any contractor that rigs and moves loads - crane and rigging companies, construction, oil and gas, industrial maintenance, and fabrication. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags rigging, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the rigging review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 21 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Keep rigging inspection records. The RAVS states that slings and hardware are inspected and removed from service when worn. A hiring client audit will ask to see the records.
- Document rigger competency. A reviewer expects rigging to be done by competent, trained riggers - keep that training documented.
