We firmly believe everyone should have access to courses that make it safer to work – in construction or otherwise. The SPA has developed industry specific Safety Passports for a number of disciplines – if you are looking for advice or information on SPA, we have supplied a comprehensive guide.
We delve into what SPA is, use cases for the Safety Passports, and how you can book courses through us.

The Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) is the awarding body responsible for the Safety Passport – a series of training awards designed to prove competency in an array of trades – such as construction, and Petrol contractor work.
SPA courses are designed to provide delegates with an understanding of their health and safety responsibilities at work in compliance with their legal requirements.
SPA has designed and implemented Safety Passport programmes, comprised of training courses delivered by accredited training providers such as Quality Safety Training.
The SPA Safety Passport initiative is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as a cost-effective programme; bolstering safety awareness and contributing to elevated standards of Health and Safety and Environmental consideration.
SPA has devised and accredited a variety of Safety Passports for different industry sectors. For instance, Quality Safety Training offers courses for the Contractor Petrol Retail Passport. Earning the Petrol Retail Safety Passport involves successfully completing both the one-day Core module, and the one-day Petrol Retail course.
Quality Safety Training is delighted to offer both of the above courses, as well as the Core + Petrol Retail ‘Refresher’ course.
The Refresher has a completion window – a refresher course may only be completed within 6 months of the original Safety Passport expiry. SPA no longer offer a ‘grace period’ after expiry, meaning the refresher MUST be completed expiry.
CCNSG is the abbreviated name of the Client Contractor National Safety Group. The CCNSG Safety Passport is a construction specific passport often used as a benchmark for ensuring safety competence when working on site.
Much like the CSCS card, holding a CCNSG Safety Passport means a contractor can be considered safe (and therefore eligible) to work on a construction site.
The origins of the CCNSG Passport stem from a consortium of steel, oil, and chemical manufacturers who agreed to standardise their health and safety training. This decision led to the growth and refinement of the training principles which the CCNSG bases itself around to this day.
Holding a CCNSG Passport is similar to holding a CSCS card, in signalling to other contractors that a delegate is safe and competent.

Sometimes it can be preferable to take your exams and courses online, in the comfort of your own home or workspace. This sentiment rings true with the SPA Safety Passports: online courses can prove to be a more comfortable and convenient option for many of us.
However, as we set up our infrastructure, we are able to offer online Safety Passport courses in a limited capacity. Please get in touch with our team for more details.
