Overview
What this RAVS document does
Scaffold collapses and falls from scaffolds cause severe injuries, so hiring clients require a scaffolding answer that shows scaffolds are built by competent workers, inspected, and tagged before use. A vague answer does not clear ISNetworld review.
This document states your company's scaffolding program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: competency for erecting and dismantling scaffolds, the inspection and tagging system, safe access, guardrails and fall protection, and load limits. Each point ties back to Part 23 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 scaffolding answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the scaffolding element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written scaffolding program with a clear purpose and scope
- Competency for erecting, altering, and dismantling scaffolds
- Scaffold inspection and the tagging system before use
- Guardrails, fall protection, and safe access
- Load limits for the scaffold and its platforms
- Roles and responsibilities for builders and users

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the scaffolding element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to scaffold companies and to any contractor whose workers build or use scaffolds - construction, industrial maintenance, oil and gas turnarounds, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags scaffolding, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the scaffolding review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 23 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Show the tagging system. A reviewer expects scaffolds to be inspected and tagged before use. Confirm your tag system is real and used in the field.
- Document scaffold competency. The RAVS states that scaffolds are built by competent workers. Keep that training documented for a hiring client audit.
