Overview
What this RAVS document does
Rigging that is overloaded, worn, or used by an untrained worker can drop a load on the crew below. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor rates rigging, inspects it, removes damaged gear from service, and uses qualified riggers.
This document states your company's rigging program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: breaking strength and load rating, per-use inspection, ASME standards, safety latches, rejection criteria, and qualified riggers. It is written to Ontario 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 rigging 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 rigging program with breaking strength and load rating
- A maximum load rating marked or made available for the rigging
- Inspection of rigging before each period of continuous use
- Rigging and slings that meet the applicable ASME standards
- Rejection criteria for worn, damaged, or deformed rigging
- Rigging work done by or under the supervision of qualified riggers

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the rigging element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, industrial, and oil and gas companies in Ontario whose workers rig and hoist loads. 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
- Mark the load rating. The document states the maximum load rating is legibly marked on the rigging, or made available to the workers where marking is not practicable. A reviewer expects that load rating.
- Inspect before continuous use. The document states rigging is inspected before each period of continuous use during the shift, and at least weekly. A reviewer expects that inspection.
- Use qualified riggers. The document states rigging and slinging work is done by or under the direct supervision of qualified workers. A reviewer expects that competency.
