Course overview

Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) Ltd is an organisation whose purpose is to design and implement Safety Passport Training Schemes and to effect their delivery through a national network of accredited training providers. Working together with industry, the SPA is committed to providing a nationally recognised standard of health and safety training.

This SPA 2 day course consists of a first “Core Day” which acts as an introduction to health & safety. The second day is specific to Petrol Retail – Forecourt Contractors and has been designed to build on the basic health and safety information of the “Core Day” programme by concentrating on risks specifically found with working on a Petrol Filling Station.

As of 31st December 2003, The PRNSG and UKPIA members set that contractors working in that industry must hold a valid “SPA Safety Passport”.
