Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hot work is the single most common cause of industrial fires, because welding, cutting, and grinding put sparks and flame directly into a work area. Hiring clients require this element because they need to see a contractor controls the fire and explosion risk specific to hot work.
This document states your company's hot work fire and explosion program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the hot work permit, atmospheric testing for flammable vapours, control and removal of combustibles, the fire watch, and post-work monitoring. Each point ties back to Part 10 of the Alberta OHS Code. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- The hot work permit and the conditions it sets
- Atmospheric testing for flammable vapours before hot work
- Control and removal of combustible materials from the area
- The fire watch during and after hot work

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the hot work fire and explosion element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to any company whose crews weld, cut, or grind - oil and gas service, fabrication, construction, and industrial maintenance.

Practical guidance
How to pass the hot work fire review the first time
- Use the Alberta version. The document is written to Part 10 of the Alberta OHS Code, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Test the atmosphere. A reviewer wants flammable vapours checked before hot work begins, especially near fuels or in confined areas.
- Do not skip the fire watch. The RAVS describes a fire watch during and after hot work - confirm your procedure names who does it and for how long.
