RAVS Training Documents

ISNetworld Training Documents for every CAN topic.

Does your ISNetworld Training Documents page show Upload Document or Deficiency Found? We give your crew real training on each CAN topic and a signed record that carries all five things ISN looks for, so the requirement clears. Per company, not per worker, from $79 a topic.

What are ISNetworld Training Documents?

ISNetworld Training Documents are the training records ISN asks you to upload, one for each training topic your hiring clients require. They sit in RAVS, ISN's Review and Verification Services, beside your written programs. ISN names each requirement "CAN - " and the topic, such as CAN - Confined Space or CAN - Fall Protection, and shows its status on your Training Documents page: Upload Document when nothing is on file, or Deficiency Found when ISN has reviewed what you sent and it falls short.

These are not the same as your written safety programs. A fall protection program says what your company will do; an ISN training document proves your workers were trained on it. A contractor can have every written program approved and still sit at Deficiency Found on a dozen training topics, because the RAVS training requirements are checked against a different set of rules.

Most open Training Documents items come down to two things: there is no record at all for the topic, or the record on file is missing something ISN checks for. Both are fixed the same way, with training your crew actually takes and a record built to ISN's rules from the start.

ISN's rules

What does ISNetworld accept as a training document?

Training rosters, safety meeting minutes, toolbox talk records and certificates all count, if each one shows these five elements.

  1. 1

    Company name or identifier

    Your company's name on the document. ISN does not need it on an individual worker's certificate.

  2. 2

    A training date within the last 3 years

    The day the training was given. Older than 3 years and the document no longer counts.

  3. 3

    The trained worker's name and/or signature

    Every worker the record covers, by name, signed where they can.

  4. 4

    The instructor's name and/or signature

    Whoever gave the training. Not needed on a computer-based training roster, where the course itself is the instructor.

  5. 5

    A course name that matches the topic

    The record has to say what was taught, in words that match the CAN topic it is uploaded against.

And on most topics

"Awareness level training is not acceptable."

Awareness level means knowing a hazard exists. ISN wants proof the worker knows how your company controls it. The line sits on topics such as Confined Space, Fall Protection, Lockout Tagout, Powered Mobile Equipment, Respiratory Protection, WHMIS, PPE, Noise and Ladders, and with 20 or more CAN topics on a typical list, each checked for five things, it is where most records fail. That is why every one of our topics has a check, and high-hazard topics a practical.

Check a document

Why do training documents get marked Deficiency Found?

Pick a document and watch it run through ISN's checks for CAN - Fall Protection. The sign-in sheet most crews already have misses four. The online awareness certificate gets five of six and still fails.

Our answer, per topic

What comes with each CAN training topic?

A module, a pre-filled sign-off sheet, a written check and a certificate, plus a practical on high-hazard topics. Training your crew can take on their own or together, and the paperwork that proves it.

  • A worker in coveralls taking an online safety module on a laptop in a site office.

    A narrated online module

    10 to 15 minutes per topic, on any phone or computer. Real photos, short exercises and a 10-question check at the end.

  • A crew in orange coveralls and hard hats gathered at a whiteboard for a safety meeting in a shop.

    Safety meeting mode

    The same module, played by a supervisor on a TV or laptop at a safety meeting, so the whole crew takes it together.

  • A worker in a hi-vis vest and hard hat filling in a form on a clipboard at a construction site.

    A sign-off sheet and written check

    A pre-filled sign-off sheet with all five ISN elements, and a written check in two versions with an answer key and a score column.

  • A supervisor walking a crew in coveralls through a task at a truck tailgate on a lease site.

    A practical sign-off

    On high-hazard topics, a supervisor watches each worker do the key steps and signs. That is what lifts a record past awareness level.

Also in every topic

  • An online check that gives each worker a certificate with their name, the topic and the date
  • A "Your company's rules" card in every module, taken from your own written program
  • Provincial law for Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC, written for the province your crew works in
  • Word and PDF copies of every sheet, ready to print

How your crew does it

Three ways a crew completes a topic

Pick whatever suits the job. Every way ends in a record ISN can check.

a. Together

At a safety meeting

A supervisor plays the module on a TV or laptop and the crew watches together. Everyone signs the sheet, then each worker writes the paper check (version A or B, answer key included) or scans the code on the sheet and takes the 10 questions on their phone.

Safety meeting mode: a full-screen scene of a worker in a snowy equipment yard, with the key point and a caption, and playback controls at the top for the supervisor.The last screen of the meeting: Now sign the sheet, with a QR code each worker can scan to take the check on a phone.

b. On their own

Online, on any phone or computer

Each worker takes the module on their own time. It saves their place, so they can stop and pick up where they left off. Pass the check and they get a certificate with their name, the exact ISN course name and a certificate ID.

c. High-hazard topics

Plus a practical at the equipment

On topics like Powered Mobile Equipment and Silica, a supervisor watches each worker do the key steps and marks them done, missed or coached. Critical steps must be done without prompting. This is what lifts the record past awareness level.

The supervisor's practical sign-off for Powered Mobile Equipment: the worker's name, the unit used, and numbered critical steps to mark done without prompting or missed.

Inside a module

What does the training look like?

About 10 to 15 minutes per topic. Built so a worker learns how your company controls the hazard, not only that the hazard exists.

  • A narrated scene titled Walk around before you start, with a photo of a worker checking a loader, a caption and the key points beside it.

    Narrated scenes

    Real photos with the key points on screen as they are spoken. No sound on site? Read mode shows the captions instead.

  • An animated diagram titled How small is the dust, comparing sand grains, hair and lung-damaging dust under 4 microns.

    Diagrams that move

    The hard ideas drawn out, such as how deep silica dust gets into the lungs.

  • A sorting exercise: a worker sorts walk-around findings into fix it now, red tag it and report it, or stop and ask the supervisor.

    Exercises built on real decisions

    Sort what the walk-around turns up, or find the problems in a photo. Short, and about the job, not trivia.

  • Question 1 of 10 of the Silica check: when do you do a seal check on your respirator, with four answers.

    A 10-question check

    Answers can be changed until it is submitted. Miss one and they retry only the questions they missed. The pass mark is 8 of 10.

  • The result screen: You passed, 10 of 10, with a note that the supervisor still needs to watch the practical before the certificate is complete.

    A result and a certificate

    The certificate carries the worker's name, the exact ISN course name, a certificate ID and a code anyone can scan to check it.

  • The module library for Sample Company Ltd.: Silica and Powered Mobile Equipment, each with Start and Run for a safety meeting.

    Your own module library

    Every topic you buy, under your company's name, ready to start or to run at a safety meeting.

The paperwork

The record ISN checks, filled in before your meeting

Every topic comes with a printable training record. Your supervisor prints it, the crew signs it, and nothing else needs preparing.

  • Page 1 of the Silica training record for Sample Company Ltd.: course details, what the session covered, a table for printed names, A or B, score and signature, and the trainer declaration.

    The sign-off sheet

    Company name, the exact ISN course name, what the session covered, each worker's printed name and signature, A or B and score columns, and the trainer's declaration.

  • The Silica written check, version A: ten multiple-choice questions with a name, date and score line at the top.

    The written check

    Ten questions on your company's rules and the law, in two versions so neighbours cannot copy.

  • The answer key for the trainer: versions A and B side by side, with the reason for each answer.

    The answer key

    Both versions side by side with why each answer is right, for the supervisor only.

  • The Powered Mobile Equipment practical verification page: worker and supervisor details and numbered steps with done and coached columns.

    The practical sign-off

    The steps a supervisor watches at the equipment, critical steps marked, done, missed or coached.

How it works

How it works, start to finish

  1. Step 1

    Pay, then send your list and programs

    Pick the package or your open CAN topics and pay by card. One questionnaire collects your ISN training topic list, your written programs and who will run the training.

  2. Step 2

    We set up your modules

    Within 5 business days of your answers: your company name on every module and sheet, and your program's rules on the "Your company's rules" card.

  3. Step 3

    Run them your way

    At a safety meeting on a TV, or online on each worker's phone. They write the check, a supervisor signs the practical, and everyone signs the sheet.

  4. Step 4

    Send us the signed sheet

    A scan is fine. For contractor management clients we upload it as that CAN topic's training document and remind you before the 3-year date. Everyone else gets upload steps.

The training has to happen. A sign-off sheet is a record of training your crew actually took, so we supply the training and the paperwork, and your crew does the rest. We never sign or fill in a record on your behalf.

Built on your program and the law

Your rules, your province, nothing invented

Every rule a module teaches traces back to one of two places: your province's regulation, or your own written program. Each module has a card called Your company's rules, and where your program says something, the training says it the same way. Where your program is silent, the module teaches the law and nothing more.

That matters because ISN is not asking whether a worker has heard of a hazard. That is awareness level. ISN wants proof the worker knows how your company controls it, which is why every topic has a check and high-hazard topics have a practical.

What we need from you

  • Your ISN training topic list, or a screenshot of your Training Documents page
  • Your written safety programs or manual
  • Who will run the training and sign as instructor
  • Your logo, if you want it on the sheets

All of it goes in one questionnaire after you pay.

What we handle

  • Each module set up with your company name and your program's rules
  • Your province's law, with every rule traced to the regulation or your own program
  • The sign-off sheet, both written checks, the answer key and the practical
  • The online check and certificates
  • For contractor management clients: the upload to ISNetworld, and a reminder before the 3-year date

For your workers

About 10 to 15 minutes a topic on any phone. It picks up where they left off, with sound or in read mode, and they keep a certificate.

For your supervisors

Nothing to prepare beyond printing the sheet. The module does the teaching, and the answer key is included for marking.

The topic list

Which ISNetworld CAN training topics do you cover?

Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC

Is the training written for my province?

Yes. Each topic teaches the law where your crew works, alongside your own company rules, so the record stands up to ISN and to an officer on site.

  • Saskatchewan

    Built on The Saskatchewan Employment Act and The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020, which set out what training an employer must give and when a worker has to show they can do the work.

  • Alberta

    Built on the Alberta OHS Act, Regulation and Code, including the Code's training requirements for topics such as fall protection, confined space, WHMIS and respiratory protection.

  • British Columbia

    Built on the Workers Compensation Act and the BC Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, including its worker instruction and training requirements on each topic.

ISNetworld account management

Who uploads the records to ISNetworld?

If we manage your ISNetworld account, we do. Your crew takes the training and signs, you send us the signed sheets or the online certificates, and we upload one document per CAN topic to your Training Documents page. If ISN comes back with a note, we answer it.

If you run your own account, you upload them. Each sheet is named for its topic, and you get short steps for the Training Documents page. Want us to take ISNetworld off your plate altogether? See ISNetworld account management.

Looking for the written program answers instead of training records? Those are separate RAVS documents, sold in our store as ISNetworld RAVS written programs.

Common questions

ISNetworld training records, answered.

What does ISNetworld accept as a training document?
ISNetworld accepts training rosters, safety meeting minutes, toolbox talk records and certificates, as long as each document shows five things: your company name or identifier (not needed on an individual certificate), a training date within the last 3 years, the trained worker's name and/or signature, the instructor's name and/or signature (not needed on a computer-based training roster), and a course name that matches the CAN topic. On most topics the training must also be more than awareness level.
Why did ISN mark my training document Deficiency Found?
Usually because one of the five elements is missing: no company name, no instructor, a date older than 3 years, or a course name that does not match the topic (a "Tailgate meeting" sheet uploaded against CAN - Fall Protection, for example). The other common reason is an awareness-level course on a topic where ISN says awareness level training is not acceptable. Fix the document, or replace it with one that has every element, and upload it again.
Is a toolbox talk sign-in sheet enough?
Only if it shows all five elements and the training went beyond awareness level. Most sign-in sheets miss at least one: the company name, the person who gave the talk, or a course name that matches the topic. A five-minute talk with no check of what workers learned is also likely to read as awareness level. Our sign-off sheet is built so every element is on the page before your crew signs.
What does awareness level training is not acceptable mean?
ISNetworld adds the line "Awareness level training is not acceptable" to most CAN topics, including Confined Space, Fall Protection, Lockout Tagout, Powered Mobile Equipment, Respiratory Protection, WHMIS, PPE, Noise, Ladders and Hazard Identification. A course that only makes workers aware of a hazard does not count. The record has to show workers were trained to do the work safely, which is why each of our topics has a scored check and, on high-hazard topics, a supervisor's practical sign-off.
How long is a training document good for?
3 years from the training date. ISNetworld looks for a training date within the last 3 years, so each of our topics is good for 3 years. When it ages out, your crew retakes the training and signs a new sheet.
Do you upload them to ISNetworld for us?
Yes, for contractor management clients. Your crew takes the training and signs, you send us the signed sheets or the online certificates, and we upload one document per CAN topic to your Training Documents page. Contractor management clients also save 20% on the training documents. Everyone else gets clear upload steps.
How much do ISNetworld training documents cost?
ISNetworld training documents are $79 per training topic, or $995 per province for the ISN Training Package (every training topic on your ISN list, up to 22), with each added province $395. Priced per company, not per worker, and good for 3 years to match ISN's training-date window. Contractor management clients save 20%. All plus GST.
How fast can we clear our ISN Training Documents?
Pay online and we email you a questionnaire straight away. Your training documents are ready within 5 business days of your answers. Then your crew takes the training and signs, and the signed records go up on your ISNetworld Training Documents page, by you or by us if we manage your ISN account.
Can I see a sample training module first?
Yes. Two finished sample topics, Silica and Powered Mobile Equipment, are on our site for a fictional company, along with a sample sign-off sheet. Play the scenes, write the check and see the certificate, exactly as your crew would.
Do I need a training document for First Aid and H2S?
Yes, if they are on your ISN list, but those two topics need a valid certificate from a third-party training provider that shows the authorizing agency. We do not provide those courses. If you send us a copy of a current certificate, contractor management clients can have us upload it.
Are your ISNetworld training documents written for Saskatchewan?
Yes. Saskatchewan topics are built on The Saskatchewan Employment Act and The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020, so the law your crew hears about is the law that applies to them.
Are your ISNetworld training documents written for Alberta?
Yes. Alberta topics are built on the Alberta OHS Act, Regulation and Code, and use the Code's terms for topics such as fall protection, confined space and WHMIS.
Are your ISNetworld training documents written for BC?
Yes. BC topics are built on the Workers Compensation Act and the BC Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. If your crews work in more than one province, each added province is $395.
Can we sign the sheets without running the training?
No. A sign-off sheet is a record of training your crew actually took. We supply the training and the paperwork; your crew takes it, writes the check and signs. We never sign or fill in a record on your behalf.
