Overview
What this RAVS document does
A generic emergency plan is not enough when an emergency happens on a specific worksite - workers need to know the muster points, exits, hazards, and contacts for that site. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor adapts its emergency response to each worksite.
This document states your company's site-specific emergency preparedness program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: identifying the emergencies specific to a worksite, site-specific response procedures, muster points and evacuation routes, emergency equipment and facilities, site contacts and communication, training and drills, and review. 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 site-specific emergency preparedness 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 site-specific emergency preparedness program
- Identification of the emergencies specific to a worksite
- Site-specific response procedures, muster points, and evacuation routes
- Emergency equipment, facilities, and site contacts
- Communication during an emergency
- Site-specific training, drills, and review of the plan

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the site-specific emergency preparedness element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to contractors who work at varied or client-controlled worksites where the emergency response must be adapted to each location. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags site-specific emergency preparedness, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the site-specific emergency preparedness review the first time
- Make the plan site-specific. A reviewer wants to see that the emergencies, muster points, and contacts are set for each worksite, not a generic plan.
- Confirm muster points and routes. The document states muster points and evacuation routes are identified for the site. A reviewer expects workers to know them.
- Keep drill records. The document states site-specific drills are held. A hiring client audit will ask to see that those drills happened.
