Overview
What this RAVS document does
Heat stress and cold stress can disable or kill a worker, and both are common in Manitoba's climate. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor assesses thermal exposure, applies engineering and administrative controls, and trains workers to recognize the signs.
This document states your company's thermal exposure program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: heat exposure limits, signs and symptoms, the heat stress plan, engineering and administrative controls, water, treatment for heat exposure, the cold stress assessment, the cold exposure control plan, clothing and PPE, and education and training. It is written to Manitoba regulations. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- A heat stress assessment and exposure control plan
- A cold stress assessment and cold exposure control plan
- Engineering and administrative controls before relying on PPE

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the thermal exposure element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to construction, industrial, and field-service companies in Manitoba whose workers are exposed to heat or cold. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags thermal exposure, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the thermal exposure review the first time
- Assess heat and cold exposure. The document states the company conducts a heat stress assessment and a cold stress assessment to determine the potential for hazardous exposure. A reviewer expects both assessments.
- Control before relying on PPE. The document states engineering controls are the preferred means, followed by administrative controls such as a work-rest cycle, before personal protective equipment. A reviewer expects that hierarchy.
- Train on the signs. The document states workers are educated to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat and cold stress. A reviewer expects that training.
