Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hot work underground adds the hazards of confined and below-surface conditions to the fire risk of welding and cutting. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor controls compressed gas, fire watch, and ventilation for that work.
This document states your company's surface and underground hot work program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the storage and transport of compressed gas cylinders, fire-fighting equipment and the fire watch, hot work distance from explosives, ventilation, communication and competency, and protection of cylinders from damage. Each point ties back to The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- A written surface and underground hot work program with purpose and scope
- Storage and transport of compressed and liquefied gas cylinders, upright and secured
- Wetting combustible material and a fire watch after hot work
- Keeping hot work clear of places where explosives are stored or transported
- Adequate ventilation of the area where hot work takes place
- Communication, competency, and protection of cylinders from damage
