Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hazardous and flammable gases can ignite, displace oxygen, or poison a worker who cannot see or smell them. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor trains, monitors, and controls for gas hazards.
This document states your company's gas hazards program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: worker training on the gases they may encounter, basic safety precautions, safe handling and storage, ignition source control, gas monitors and bump testing, the lower explosive limit, and waste. It is written to a national standard. 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 gas hazards 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 gas hazards program with purpose and scope
- Worker training on gas characteristics, health effects, and protective equipment
- Safe handling and storage of flammable and combustible substances
- Elimination or control of ignition sources
- Gas monitors calibrated and bump tested, with personal portable detectors
- The lower explosive limit entry restriction

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the gas hazards element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to oil and gas, industrial, utilities, and maintenance companies whose workers may encounter flammable, toxic, or oxygen-displacing gases. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags gas hazards, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the gas hazards review the first time
- Calibrate and bump test monitors. The document states gas monitors are calibrated to the manufacturer's recommendations and bump tested daily. A hiring client audit will check this.
- Train on the specific gases. A reviewer wants to see workers trained on the characteristics, health effects, and protective equipment for the gases they may encounter.
- Control ignition sources. The document states ignition sources are eliminated or controlled where an explosive atmosphere exists. A reviewer expects that control.
