The SPA Petrol Retail Passport has been written
by the Industry for the Industry Sector.
The training is the product of a unique collaboration
between UK Petroleum Industry Association (UKPIA)
and SPA.
Working on petrol filling station forecourts
presents some special issues, not least the safety
of the public. For this reason SPA, UKPIA and
its members have developed the Petrol retail Passport
Course to ensure that workers in the industry
and particularly contractors working on forecourts,
are trained to meet specified standards.
Oil companies and some supermarket petrol retailers
require contract workers to complete a two day
training course before they are allowed to work
on their forecourts.
The Petrol retail training focuses on the practical
issues of identifying potential hazards, safe
work practices and controlling a work programme
on the forecourt
Contactors should first undergo the core training
- this one-day session ensures that the delegates
grasp the basics of general good practice in health
and safety.
Acknowledged by the Health and Safety Executive
(HSE), the cost effective programme drives good
practice through the contractor supply chain increasing
safety awareness and contributing to higher standards
of safety and hygiene performance.
The Safety Pass Alliance work with employers,
employer associations, trade unions, NTO and other
relevant bodies to design and develop training
programmes tailored to suit each sector.
