Plain answer

What is the Ground Disturbance RAVS?

Striking a buried line or a trench collapse can kill. A ground disturbance and excavation program covers locates, hand exposure near facilities, sloping and shoring, and inspection of the excavation.

This is the Ground Disturbance written program for federally regulated employers, such as interprovincial trucking, rail, air and marine carriers, interprovincial pipelines, telecommunications and Crown corporations, written against Part II of the Canada Labour Code and the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. It is the document you upload for this topic when your client's ISNetworld account asks for it.

Who needs it: Civil, pipeline, utility and site preparation contractors.
