Overview
What this RAVS document does
Welding, cutting, and grinding produce sparks and heat that can ignite flammable atmospheres and materials. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor uses a hot work permit, tests the atmosphere, controls the area, and posts a fire watch.
This document states your company's hot work program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: hazardous locations, training, the hot work permit, storage and handling of compressed gas, CSA standards, personal protective equipment, fire extinguishers, the fire watch, equipment maintenance, inspection, work above workers, and flashback arrestors. It is written to Manitoba regulations. 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 this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written hot work program with a hot work permit
- Atmospheric testing before and during hot work
- The hot work location cleared or isolated from combustible materials
- Safe storage and handling of compressed gas cylinders
- A fire watch trained in emergency procedures
- Fire extinguishing equipment readily available

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the hot work element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks.

Practical guidance
How to pass the hot work review the first time
- Issue a hot work permit. The document states hot work does not begin until a hot work permit is issued that states the hazard, the atmospheric testing required, and the precautions. A reviewer expects that permit.
- Test the atmosphere. The document states testing shows the atmosphere does not contain a flammable substance above 10 percent of its lower explosive limit. A reviewer expects that testing.
- Post a fire watch. The document states a competent fire watch monitors the area for at least 30 minutes after the hot work is completed. A reviewer expects that fire watch.
