Overview
What this RAVS document does
Flammable and combustible liquids can ignite or explode in the presence of an ignition source. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor trains workers, stores and handles these substances safely, controls ignition sources, and keeps fire extinguishers available.
This document states your company's flammable and combustible substances program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: basic safety precautions, training, safe handling and storage, worker contamination steps, workers entering an area, fire extinguishers, and the operation of a fire extinguisher. It is written to Manitoba regulations. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- Worker training on the safe handling of these substances
- Safe storage in approved, labelled containers away from ignition sources
- A rule against entering an area above 10 percent of the lower explosive limit
- Steps for a worker whose clothing or skin is contaminated
- A Class B fire extinguisher available and inspected monthly
