ISNetworld Brief Sheet


Please give me a call and I'll walk you through this.  Honestly, it's not as hard as it looks.  AND I am here to help you with it!

Thanks!  Frank.  800-205-1050 or  303-457-4506

Yes, we sell to to businesses in Canada, Australia and elsewhere all the time.  And without complaint. We are not affiliated with ISNetworld, or OSHA in any way.  OK, that being said.......


Try not to be overwhelmed or intimidated by the "burden" of getting your manual through ISNetworld.  It's just a little time consuming and costs some dough.  But YOU CAN DO IT !  Here's the deal with ISNetworld and their "RAVS" (Review & Verification Services) ..

In your manual, if you address every line item in every RAV that ISNetworld says you must, you will pass.

Pretty simple, really.  Those are the rules.   More importantly, OUR PROGRAM WORKS.  I can prove it AND I have references.  Just ask...


OK, here goes....You need to do three things before you even think about submitting your stuff to ISNetworld:

 1)  Get the list of every RAVS chapter you will need to address in your safety manual from ISNetworld.  There are going to be 5 - 20 chapters depending on the line of work you are in.

 2)  Print a "hard copy" of every RAVS Checklist that you will need to submit.  You will need to write on this "hard copy" the page number where each RAVS checklist line item is located/addressed.  ISNetworld needs to know this when you submit your completed manual to them.

3)  Call me at 800-205-1050 if you encounter any discrepancies between my material and your ISNetworld RAVS, before you submit.  I'll work with you to get it right.


We got our hands on several ISNetworld RAVS checklists.  We then went step-by-step through our different corresponding safety chapters and compared what we had with what the ISNetworld RAVS required.  We then came up with a document that contained all of the ISNetworld RAVS checklist items.  In the chapters, we highlighted the RAVS sections with a different colored font (not black) AND we put a four character "instruction note" in front of the section so that you could find the different sections quickly, at a later time.  See the "Disciplinary Program" sample further below...

Long story, short, below is the Disciplinary Chapter example after we did our work.  We did 36 different chapters!

Disciplinary Program

Note: "DSP" is the Find 3-letter instruction tag/label to help you locate what page the different line items are on.  

Role of Disciplinary Systems in the Workplace:

The disciplinary system does not exist primarily to punish employees. Its purpose should be to control the work environment so that workers are protected and accidents are prevented. A disciplinary system helps ensure workplace safety and health by letting the Company's employees know what is expected of them. It provides workers with opportunities to correct their behavior before an accident happens.

(DSP1       Line Item #1 Does program address positions responsible for enforcement of disciplinary program?)

A disciplinary system is one of the keys to successfully implementing the Company's safety and health program. It ensures that the Company's rules and safe working practices are taken seriously by employees and are actually followed. It lets employees know how the Company expects them to operate in relation to the goals of the Company's safety and health program. And it lays out the actions the Company will take if individuals do not meet the Company's expectations. The employee's supervisor and all members of management are responsible for the enforcement of this disciplinary program.

A disciplinary system cannot work in a vacuum. Before the Company can hold employees accountable for their actions, the Company first needs to establish its safety and health policy and disciplinary rules.

Policy Statement:

Employees need to know the Company's position on safety and health and what the Company expects of them. They need a clear understanding of the rules and the consequences of breaking those rules. This is true in all areas of work, but it is especially important for worker safety and health. As part of the policy statement, and in the employee safety handbook, the Company has a written statement setting forth the Company's disciplinary policy. Company managers and supervisors will always be on the lookout for safety violations and will conscientiously and vigorously enforce the Company's commitment to safety.

96

See the red "DSP" font lettering on the left?  "DSP" stands for the Disciplinary Chapter. The Bloodborne Pathogens instruction tag is BBP, Fall Protection is FLL, Ladder is LDD, etc.

.

See the left lettering in blue font?  See the "DSP1" instruction note?  This is the corresponding RAVs checklist line item. DSP1 means Disciplinary and line item 1 of the RAV. 

See the blue word "responsible"?  This is the keyword we used to search the document for the RAVS reference.

The gold font (left lettering) is what addresses the RAVS checklist item

.

(Please note, in this case, line item DSP1 is on page 96,  and DSP2 is on page 97.  Write this page number down, next to the corresponding RAV line item, on your ISN RAVS paper checklist) .

............................................

Employee Information and Training:

It is important that employees understand the system and have a reference to turn to if they have any questions. Therefore, in addition to issuing a written statement of the Company's disciplinary policy, the Company has drawn up a list of what it considers major violations of Company policy and less serious violations. This list specifies the disciplinary actions that will be taken for first, second, or repeated offenses. The Company will use the 5 Step Disciplinary System listed in Appendix B to correct minor, "General Offences" (that are listed on the next page).

(DSP2     Line Item #2 Does program address as to what constitutes a safety violation)

What constitutes a Company safety violation?  The below two sections list the most common Company violations.  Some are related to safety, whereas others are related to Company policy. These sections are just a partial list....other violations may exist that are not yet listed and will be addressed as they occur.  For any activity you question which is NOT on this list, please contact your management Safety representative for a decision.

The list for immediate termination and grounds for immediate discharge are:

1) Drinking alcohol, and/or drug abuse prior to or during working hours

2) Fighting, provoking or engaging in an act of violence against another person on Company property

3) Theft

4) Willful damage to property

5) Failure to wear Personal Protective Equipment (eye protection, hearing protection, safety helmets, etc.)**

6) Abuse of selected Personal Protective Equipment.**

7) Not using safety harnesses and lanyards when there is a potential for falling

8) Removing and/or making inoperative safety guards on tools and equipment

9) Tampering with machine safeguards or removing machine tags or locks

10) Removing barriers and/or guardrails and not replacing them

11) Failure to follow recognized industry practices

12) Failure to follow rules regarding the use of company equipment or materials

13) Major traffic violations while using a company vehicle

14) Engaging in dangerous horseplay**

15) Not following verbal or written safety procedures, guidelines, and rules**

16) Failure to conduct required Physical Inspections by Company Officials***

17) Failure to notify the Company of a hazardous situation, and

18) Other major violations of company rules or policies

Please note: Our Disciplinary Program chapter is 8 pages long.  We only put the first 2 pages here.  There's More!

IMPORTANT!!=>  When you submit your final manuscript to ISNetworld, DO NOT leave the font color red or gold or blue like on the left examples, above.  Change the font color to BLACK.  Your final Text should be black.  Also, do not leave the different instruction notes, "DSP1 Line Item 1", or "Note: "DSP" is the Find 3-letter instruction tag/label to help you locate what page the different line items are on"  stuff in your manual.  Delete these instruction notes or change the font color to WHITE so it's invisible to ISNetworld.  

If you leave the instruction notes in your final manual and/or leave the text colored, they will kick your manual back to you.


We put together a "package deal" that includes our basic safety manual  (bottom left) and 10 ISNetworld chapters (bottom right).  It will include your company name throughout the manual and you can have it within an hour!

A mini computer class....

To find the page number where each of the instruction note label/anchor tags  (like DSP1, or BBP5, or others) are in your completed manual, press down on the two keys, Ctrl & F, at the same time.  A 'Find and Replace' Dialog box will come up.  It will ask, "Find what:  ".  Type in the word you want to look for in the box to the right of the "Find what:  " words, like the DSP1.  Then click on the "Find next" box.  When the computer stops at the word DSP1 in your manual, you can then scroll down and see what page number DSP1 is on.  After you write down the page number, on your paper RAVS checklist, you should also delete the DSP1 refererence in your manual, and change the text font color to black.   Also, you should check your manual to see if there are any other references to DSP1.   Then continue to the next label/anchor tag, type in DSP2 in the "Find what:  " box.  And so on.  

If you're still confused, call Frank at 800-205-1050.  He will walk you through it.  NO Problem!

By the way.  If, when you first open the 'Find what' box and you see small print that says: "Options:   Search Down", you'll want to change this.   Click on the "More" box and click on the little down arrows next to the word "Down"  and make the word "All" show up.  Then click on the "Less" box.


Final notes:

Our Page Set-Up Margins are 0.7",  left, right, top, bottom
