Overview
What this RAVS document does
Alberta crews work through extreme summer heat and deep winter cold, and both cause real harm - heat illness, frostbite, and the errors that come with thermal stress. Hiring clients require this element because they need to see a contractor manages temperature extremes, not just endures them.
This document states your company's seasonal work, heat and cold program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how heat and cold stress are assessed, work and rest scheduling, hydration and warming or cooling areas, recognizing the signs of thermal stress, and worker training. Each point ties back to Alberta OHS legislation. 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 seasonal work 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 heat and cold stress program with a clear purpose and scope
- How heat and cold stress are assessed for the work and the conditions
- Work and rest scheduling during temperature extremes
- Hydration, and warming or cooling areas
- Recognizing the signs of heat illness and cold injury
- Worker training on thermal stress

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the seasonal work, heat and cold element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to any company with outdoor or temperature-extreme work - construction, oil and gas, utilities, and civil work. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags this element, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the heat and cold review the first time
- Keep the answer Alberta-specific. The document reflects Alberta OHS legislation, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Cover both heat and cold. Alberta crews face both extremes - a reviewer wants the program to address summer heat illness and winter cold injury.
- Show work and rest scheduling. The RAVS describes adjusting work and rest in extreme conditions. A program that only hands out water or warm gear reads as thin.
