Overview
What this RAVS document does
Welding produces intense heat, sparks, slag, and - with oxy-fuel and gas processes - fuel gases of its own. Hiring clients require a welding fire and explosion answer because welding combines several fire risks in one task.
This document states your company's welding fire and explosion program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: control of sparks and slag, compressed and fuel gas handling, control of combustibles around welding, the fire watch, and worker training. 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.
What the reviewer verifies
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that a welding fire answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written welding fire and explosion program with a clear purpose and scope
- Control of sparks, slag, and hot metal during welding
- Safe handling and storage of compressed and fuel gases
- Control of combustibles around welding
- The fire watch during and after welding
- Worker training on welding fire hazards

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the welding fire and explosion element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks.

Practical guidance
How to pass the welding 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.
- Cover fuel gas handling. A reviewer wants compressed and fuel gases - oxygen, acetylene, propane - stored and handled safely, not just spark control.
- Keep a fire watch. The RAVS describes a fire watch during and after welding. Confirm your crews do it, not just on hot work permits.
