Overview
What this RAVS document does
Moving crews to and from worksites in company vehicles carries its own risk - an uninspected vehicle, an unbelted worker, or an overloaded passenger compartment. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor transports workers safely.
This document states your company's transportation of workers program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: pre-trip inspections and hazard assessment, operator responsibilities, seat belt use, riding restrictions, securing of materials, and passenger compartment requirements. Each point ties back to Part 17 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 transportation of workers 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 transportation of workers program with purpose and scope
- Pre-trip inspection of the vehicle and a road, weather, and traffic hazard assessment
- Inspection by a qualified person before first use on a shift
- Seat belt use and transporting only as many workers as there are seat belts
- Riding restrictions and securing of materials carried with workers
- Passenger compartment ventilation, lighting, communication, and exits

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the transportation of workers element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, oil and gas, forestry, utilities, and field-service companies whose crews are driven to and from worksites in company vehicles or crew trucks. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags transportation of workers, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the transportation of workers review the first time
- Use the BC version. The document is written to Part 17 of the BC OHS Regulation, which is the standard WorkSafeBC enforces.
- Match workers to seat belts. The RAVS states only as many workers are transported as there are seat belts, and seated workers wear them. A reviewer expects that to hold in practice.
- Keep your pre-trip inspection records. The document states a qualified person inspects the vehicle before first use on a shift. A hiring client audit will ask to see that checklist.
