Overview
What this RAVS document does
Nearly every BC worksite stores or handles a controlled product, so WHMIS is one of the most widely required elements in ISNetworld. An operator will not approve a contractor whose WHMIS answer is generic or written to the wrong jurisdiction.
This document states your company's WHMIS program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how hazardous products are identified and labelled, how safety data sheets are kept current and accessible, and how workers are trained. Each point ties back to Part 5 of the BC OHS Regulation and the WHMIS 2015 standard. 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 WHMIS answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the WHMIS element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written WHMIS program with a clear purpose and scope
- How hazardous products are identified and how labels are applied
- How safety data sheets are obtained, kept current, and made available
- Worker education and training on the products they handle
- Roles and responsibilities for employers, supervisors, and workers
- The regulatory references the answer is built on

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the WHMIS element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. Because almost every workplace uses a controlled product, WHMIS is required across construction, oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, transportation, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags WHMIS, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the WHMIS review the first time
- Use the BC version. ISNetworld reviewers reject WHMIS answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to Part 5 of the BC OHS Regulation and the WHMIS 2015 standard.
- Confirm your training is current. WHMIS training is reviewed when a new product arrives or a worker changes roles, and a hiring client audit will check it.
- Keep your safety data sheets accessible. The document says safety data sheets are available to workers - make sure that is true in practice.
