Overview
What this RAVS document does
When work generates dusts, fumes, vapours, or displaces oxygen, ventilation is what keeps the air breathable. Hiring clients require a ventilation answer because they need to see a contractor controls airborne hazards at the source rather than relying on respirators alone.
This document states your company's ventilation program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how ventilation needs are identified, natural and mechanical ventilation, local exhaust ventilation, air monitoring, and worker training. Each point ties back to Part 4 of 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 ventilation 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 ventilation program with a clear purpose and scope
- How ventilation needs are identified for tasks and work areas
- Natural and mechanical ventilation
- Local exhaust ventilation at the source of a contaminant
- Air monitoring to confirm ventilation is effective
- Worker training on ventilation requirements

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the ventilation element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to welding and fabrication, painting and coating, confined space work, and any company whose tasks generate airborne contaminants. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags ventilation, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the ventilation review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 4 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Control at the source. A reviewer wants local exhaust ventilation considered where a contaminant is generated, not just general airflow.
- Confirm ventilation works. The RAVS describes air monitoring to verify ventilation is effective - a reviewer expects more than equipment that is simply switched on.

Common questions
Questions about this RAVS
- What does the ISNetworld ventilation RAVS include?
- It is a complete, pre-written ventilation program written as an ISNetworld RAVS answer. It covers identifying ventilation needs, natural and mechanical ventilation, local exhaust ventilation, air monitoring, and worker training, all referenced to Part 4 of the Alberta OHS Code.
- Is this written to Alberta legislation?
- Yes. The document is tied to Part 4 of the Alberta OHS Code and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. ISNetworld reviewers verify provincial answers against provincial legislation.
- Does ventilation replace respiratory protection?
- They work together. Ventilation controls airborne contaminants at the source; respiratory protection is the backup where ventilation alone does not reduce exposure enough. A reviewer wants ventilation considered first, not skipped in favour of respirators.
- How long does it take to complete and upload?
- Most companies finish in 15 to 30 minutes. You add your company name, confirm a few company-specific details, then copy the content into your ISNetworld RAVS questionnaire.
