ONLINE SPA Petrol Retail Contractors Safety Passport 1 Day Refresher Course (Remote Learning)

If you work on petrol station forecourts and hold a valid SPA Petrol Safety Passport, you'll need to renew it six months before it expires. If your passport has already lapsed, you must attend the full SPA Petrol Retail Contractors Safety Passport course to renew your certification. This refresher training is designed to help you review how to spot hazards, apply effective control measures and safe working practices to maintain a safe working environment, given the significant and unique risks associated with petrol stations.

So, if you've already completed the initial SPA Petrol Retail Safety Passport training, the Online SPA Petrol Retail Contractors Safety Passport Refresher Course (Remote Learning) will help refresh your knowledge, keep your skills up to date and renew your certificate. This class is delivered via remote learning, with the same content as the classroom-based training, though you'll attend a scheduled, interactive video conferencing call.

Anyone whose site work also involves broader hazardous substance handling may find the COSHH Online Course a useful companion, given how closely fuel hazards and COSHH principles overlap. You'll need a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone and speaker to take part; tablets aren't supported.
