Overview
What this RAVS document does
A worker directing traffic stands between live vehicles and the work crew, and a struck-by incident at a roadside worksite is often fatal. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor sets up, signs, and staffs traffic control to a recognized standard.
This document states your company's traffic control program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: separating pedestrians and vehicles, the standards for traffic control devices, site preparation and sign placement, the position and high-visibility apparel of a traffic control person, training, and inspection. Each point ties back to Part 18 of the BC OHS Regulation. 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 traffic control 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 traffic control program with purpose and scope
- Physical separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic
- Traffic control devices set up to the Traffic Control Manual for Work on Roadways
- The safe position of a traffic control person and the 25 m distance from the work area
- High-visibility safety apparel meeting the CSA Z96 standard
- Traffic control person training and inspection of the work zone

Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the traffic control element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks.

Practical guidance
How to pass the traffic control review the first time
- Use the BC version. ISNetworld reviewers reject traffic control answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to Part 18 of the BC OHS Regulation and the BC Traffic Control Manual.
- Confirm traffic control person training. The RAVS states traffic control persons are qualified and trained. A hiring client audit will ask to see that training.
- Cover high-visibility apparel. A reviewer wants to see Class 3 garments meeting CSA Z96 for traffic control persons, with the correct stripe pattern and headgear.
