Overview
What this RAVS document does
Underground mine work demands competent, certified supervision because the hazards and the consequences of a mistake are severe. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor only allows qualified direct supervisors underground.
This document states your company's supervision of work underground program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the competency and certification of a direct supervisor, notifications, temporary authorizations, the expiry and renewal of authorizations, eligibility for the examination, and certificate expiry. Each point ties back to The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
