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 see 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 15 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 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
