Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hand tools, power tools, and equipment are used on every worksite, and a damaged or misused tool causes cuts, strikes, and worse. Hiring clients require this element because they need to see a contractor selects, inspects, and maintains tools and equipment, and trains workers to use them.
This document states your company's tools, equipment and machinery program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: tool and equipment selection, pre-use inspection, defect reporting and removal from service, maintenance, and worker training. Each point ties back to the Alberta OHS Code. 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 tools and equipment 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 tools, equipment and machinery program with a clear purpose and scope
- Selection of the right tool or equipment for the task
- Pre-use inspection of tools and equipment
- Defect reporting and removal of damaged tools from service
- Maintenance of tools and equipment
- Worker training on safe use

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the tools, equipment and machinery element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because tools and equipment are used on every worksite, the element is required across construction, oil and gas, fabrication, maintenance, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags tools and equipment, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
