The SPA Petrol passport — the Safety Pass Alliance sector course for contractors working on petrol filling stations, covering forecourt hazards and safe systems of work. Taken with the SPA Core Day to complete a full passport.
Two ways to take the SPA Petrol passport with KeyOstas — choose the option that fits your team.
The SPA Petrol passport is the Safety Pass Alliance sector course for people working on petrol filling stations. Taken alongside the one-day SPA Core Day, it makes up a full safety passport covering the hazards of a forecourt — flammable atmospheres, fuel deliveries and ignition sources — and how to control work safely. The passport is valid for three years.
Petrol forecourts are a hazardous environment — flammable vapours, hazardous zones under DSEAR, live fuelling and deliveries. Contractors working on forecourts are routinely asked to hold an SPA Petrol passport before site access. The course gives that recognised, sector-specific safety baseline. KeyOstas delivers it as an SPA-approved training provider, in public classrooms and in-company.
This is the petrol-retail sector passport. If you work in another industry, a different SPA passport applies.
By the end of the training your team will have a recognised petrol forecourt safety passport.
Identify flammable atmospheres, hazardous zones and ignition sources on a petrol filling station.
Understand hazardous-area zoning and the risks of fuel deliveries and vapour.
Apply permits, method statements and clearance certificates to forecourt work.
Understand health and safety law and where responsibility sits on a forecourt.
Work safely around live fuelling operations and follow forecourt site rules.
Know the forecourt emergency procedures and how to report incidents.
The sector day is delivered alongside the SPA Core Day. The petrol-retail content is set by the Safety Pass Alliance and organised into two modules.
Assessment is built into the course — there is nothing to revise in advance.
Each module is followed by a short assessment paper covering the Core Day and the petrol sector content.
The course is interactive — trainer-led sessions, discussion and real petrol forecourt examples.
A full SPA sector passport is made up of two parts — the Core Day and the sector day.
