Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hot work - welding, cutting, grinding, and any task that produces a spark or flame - is a leading cause of industrial fires, so hiring clients scrutinize this element closely. An operator will not approve a contractor whose hot work answer skips the permit process or the fire watch.
This document states your company's hot work program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the hot work permit, the hazard assessment and atmospheric testing before work begins, the fire watch, control of ignition sources, and the post-work monitoring period. 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 hot work answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For the hot work element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written hot work program with a clear purpose and scope
- The hot work permit and when it is required
- Hazard assessment and atmospheric testing before hot work begins
- The fire watch, including who performs it and for how long
- Control and removal of ignition sources and combustibles
- Post-work monitoring after hot work is complete

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the hot work element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to any company whose crews weld, cut, grind, or otherwise create a spark or flame - oil and gas service, construction, fabrication, industrial maintenance, and the trades. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags hot work, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the hot work 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.
- Keep your hot work permits. The RAVS states that hot work runs under a permit. Keep completed permits on file - a hiring client audit will ask to see them.
- Do not skip the fire watch. A reviewer expects a fire watch during hot work and for a monitoring period afterward. Confirm your procedure names who does it and for how long.
