Overview
What this RAVS document does
When a contractor hires its own subcontractors, the hiring client expects that the contractor screens and manages them to the same standard it is held to. A configured subcontractor management element wants to see that plan in writing.
This document states your company's subcontractor management plan in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: subcontractor pre-qualification, safety metrics, subcontractor involvement in meetings and hazard assessments, incident reporting, drug and alcohol expectations, and the post-job 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 subcontractor management 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 subcontractor management plan with purpose and scope
- Pre-qualification of subcontractors before work commences
- Safety metrics used as criteria for selecting subcontractors
- Subcontractor involvement in meetings and hazard assessments
- Reporting and investigating subcontractor incidents
- Drug and alcohol expectations and the post-job review

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the subcontractor management element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to general contractors and prime contractors who hire and direct their own subcontractors. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags subcontractor management, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the subcontractor management review the first time
- Pre-qualify before work starts. The document states subcontractors are pre-qualified, with their safety program and workers' compensation coverage reviewed, before work commences.
- Keep your pre-qualification records. A hiring client audit will ask to see the safety program reviews and metrics collected for each subcontractor.
- Run the post-job review. The document states a post-job safety performance review is done on all subcontractors. A reviewer expects that step.
