This is a real example of the kind of Fall Protection program contractors frequently submit to ISNetworld. It looks like a safety program on the surface, but it's missing critical elements the RAVS reviewers check for.
FALL PROTECTION PROGRAM 1. Purpose This program is to protect employees from fall hazards on the job site. 2. Scope Applies to all employees who work at heights. 3. Procedures Employees shall use fall protection when working above 6 feet. Harnesses will be provided by the company. All anchors must be strong enough to support the employee. Employees who violate fall protection rules will be subject to disciplinary action. 4. Equipment The company will provide harnesses, lanyards, and other fall protection equipment as needed. Equipment shall be inspected before each use. Damaged equipment shall be removed from service. 5. Rescue In the event of a fall, call 911 and wait for emergency responders.
What's missing:
- ✗No company name, review date, or named program administrator
- ✗No competent person designated by name and title
- ✗Fall protection systems not described (no guardrail specs, no PFAS details, no safety nets)
- ✗No training requirements or documentation procedures
- ✗Rescue plan is “call 911” with no prompt-rescue procedure
This is a real example
What you see above is exactly what Raven produces. The “Before” is a typical deficient safety program we see contractors submit. The review identifies every gap against the ISNetworld RAVS checklist. The repaired version adds all missing elements while preserving your original content. No manual editing was done to this example.
