About Us

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. SPA is committed to providing a nationally recognised standard of health and safety training assurance. Our courses are designed to provide people with an understanding of their health and safety responsibilities at work in compliance with their legal requirements, best practice in health and safety and their organisations health and safety policy.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), acknowledge that the cost effective safety passport programme drives good practice through the supply chain increasing safety awareness and contributing to higher standards of safety, health and environment performance.

02 Safety Pass Alliance

Safety Pass Alliance work with Employers, Employer Associations, Trade Unions, National Trading Organisations and other relevant bodies to design and develop training programmes tailored to suit each sector or industry.

How does it work?

SPA have over 120 independent training providers offering a wide range of SPA courses. Each delegate attends an industry specific course with one of the training providers. Most courses are 2 day duration consisting of a first day “Core” course which acts as an introduction to health & safety. The second day is sector specific which has been designed by the respective industry. The pass mark for all courses is 80% After attending the Core and Sector days a new passport is issued showing the training that an individual has attended and completed successfully. This is shown on the passport by sector icons.

SPA recognise that many individuals will hold other qualifications which would mean their previous training would overlap with the content of the first SPA Core day. With this in mind, SPA in conjunction with the Sector do recognise many of these qualifications and will allow an individual an exemption from the Core day training course where the sector states a 2 day programme.

Each sector has a one day refresher course as part of the agreed programme. A new passport is issued on successful completion of the refresher course.

What do successful Delegates get?

A robust, secure plastic photo card, valid for three years, is given to each participant who completes the training successfully. The SPA Safety Passport, issued within 15 working days, features photo and unique identification. The Safety Passports are printed using a process which embeds the dye in the card similar to the UK driving licence. Printed cards are coated with a holocote finish to ensure the SPA Safety Passport is tamper-proof.
