Overview
What this RAVS document does
The rights and responsibilities element sets out who is accountable for safety - the employer, the supervisor, and the worker - and the worker's right to refuse unsafe work. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor has assigned those duties in writing.
This document states your company's rights and responsibilities in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the general duties of employers, supervisors, and workers, regular inspections, incident investigation, correcting unsafe conditions, and the refusal of unsafe work. Each point ties back to Part 3 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 rights and responsibilities 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 rights and responsibilities program with purpose and scope
- The general duties of employers, supervisors, and workers
- Regular inspections of workplaces, equipment, and work practices
- Incident investigation and the required content of an investigation report
- Correcting unsafe conditions without delay
- The worker's right to refuse unsafe work and how a report is investigated
