Overview
What this RAVS document does
New and less-experienced workers are hurt at a much higher rate than seasoned ones. Hiring clients require a short service employee answer because they need to see a contractor identifies these workers and gives them extra orientation, mentoring, and oversight until they gain experience.
This document states your company's short service employee program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how a short service employee is defined, how they are identified on site, the extra orientation and mentoring they receive, the limits on what they do unsupervised, and how they progress out of short service status. 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 short service employee 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 short service employee program with a clear purpose and scope
- How a short service employee is defined
- How short service employees are identified on the worksite
- Extra orientation, mentoring, and oversight
- Limits on tasks performed without close supervision
- How a worker progresses out of short service status

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the short service employee element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It is widely required by major operators in oil and gas and construction, where new-worker risk is a known concern. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags short service employee, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the short service employee review the first time
- Keep the answer Alberta-specific. The document reflects Alberta OHS legislation, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Make short service employees visible. A reviewer wants a way to identify these workers on site - many operators expect a marker such as a different-coloured hard hat or sticker.
- Define how a worker exits the program. The RAVS describes progression out of short service status. A program with no exit reads as incomplete.
