Overview
What this RAVS document does
Flammable and combustible liquids are on nearly every BC worksite, and an uncontrolled ignition source near fuel, solvent, or vapour can cause a fire or explosion. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor controls ignition, storage, and transfer rather than relying on luck.
This document states your company's flammable and combustible substances program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how flammable and combustible liquids are classified, how ignition sources are eliminated or controlled, how containers are grounded and bonded during transfer, and how these substances are stored. Each point ties back to Part 5 of the BC OHS Regulation. 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 flammable and combustible 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 flammable and combustible substances program with purpose and scope
- Classification of flammable and combustible liquids by flashpoint
- Elimination or control of ignition sources where flammables are handled
- Grounding and bonding of containers during transfer of flammable liquids
- Storage cabinets, ventilation, and limits on combustible materials in storage
- Control of flammable gas and vapour concentration below the lower explosive limit

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the flammable and combustible substances element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to oil and gas, fuel handling, coating and painting, manufacturing, and maintenance companies whose work involves flammable liquids, gases, or vapours. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags flammable and combustible substances, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the flammable and combustible review the first time
- Use the BC version. ISNetworld reviewers reject flammable and combustible answers written to the wrong jurisdiction. This document is written to Part 5 of the BC OHS Regulation and is what WorkSafeBC enforces.
- Show ignition-source control. A reviewer wants to see that open flame, sparking equipment, hot work, smoking, and static are all eliminated or controlled where flammables are handled.
- Match the storage description to your site. If the document describes a vented flammable storage cabinet, your shop or yard should actually have one. A reviewer who finds a mismatch sends it back.
