Overview
What this RAVS document does
A safety program only works when everyone knows what they are accountable for. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor has assigned health and safety responsibilities to management, supervisors, and workers in writing.
This document states your company's roles and responsibilities in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the duties of senior management, supervisors, workers, and subcontractors, accountability for the safety program, and how responsibilities are communicated. It is written to a national standard. 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 roles 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 roles and responsibilities program with purpose and scope
- The health and safety duties of senior management
- The duties of supervisors for the workers under their direction
- The duties of workers to work safely and follow procedures
- The responsibilities of contractors and subcontractors
- How responsibilities are communicated and accountability is enforced

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the roles and responsibilities element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because clear accountability is the foundation of any safety program, this element appears across construction, oil and gas, utilities, and industrial work. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags roles and responsibilities, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the roles and responsibilities review the first time
- Match the roles to your company. A reviewer wants to see management, supervisor, and worker duties that reflect how your company is actually organized.
- Cover contractors. The document addresses the responsibilities of contractors and subcontractors. A reviewer expects that scope where you hire others.
- Communicate the responsibilities. The document states responsibilities are communicated to workers. A reviewer expects that to happen at orientation.
