Overview
What this RAVS document does
A fall from height is one of the leading causes of serious and fatal worksite injury, so hiring clients scrutinize this element closely. They want to see that elevated work is planned, the right fall protection is selected, and workers are trained before they leave the ground.
This document states your company's working at heights program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: when working at heights triggers fall protection, the systems and equipment used, equipment inspection, safe practices for elevated work, rescue, and worker training. Each point ties back to Part 9 of the Alberta OHS Code. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- A written working at heights program with a clear purpose and scope
- The height at which fall protection becomes mandatory
- The fall protection systems used and how each is selected
- Inspection of fall protection equipment
- Safe practices for elevated work platforms, ladders, and structures
- A fall rescue plan and worker training

Practical guidance
How to pass the working at heights review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 9 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Match the systems to your work. A reviewer wants the fall protection systems in the document to match what your crews actually use - guardrails, travel restraint, or fall arrest.
- Include a rescue plan. The RAVS describes how a worker suspended after a fall is retrieved. Confirm your crews have a real rescue capability.
