Overview
What this RAVS document does
Many contractors have workers who are out of sight and earshot of anyone else - on a remote lease, in a service truck, or after hours. Hiring clients require a working alone answer because a lone worker who is injured or in trouble needs a reliable way to summon help, and an operator will not approve a contractor whose answer is vague.
This document states your company's working alone program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how working alone situations are identified, the hazard assessment behind them, the communication and check-in system, and the response when a worker cannot be reached. Each point ties back to Part 28 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 working alone answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the working alone element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written working alone program with a clear purpose and scope
- How working alone situations are identified across the company's work
- A hazard assessment for the specific risks of working alone
- An effective communication and check-in system
- The response procedure when a worker cannot be reached
- Worker training on the working alone procedures

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the working alone element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies wherever a worker is not within sight or hearing of another person who can help in an emergency - common in oil and gas field service, utilities, transportation, and after-hours or remote work. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags working alone, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the working alone review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 28 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Make the check-in system real. A reviewer wants a working alone program with an effective way for a worker to summon help. Confirm your check-in schedule and the contact who responds are genuinely in place.
- Cover the no-contact response. The RAVS describes what happens when a worker cannot be reached. Make sure the people named in that procedure know their role.
