Quarry Safety Passport Course
MENTOR are now providing the industry-specific Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) Safety Passport Course for Quarrying. The training reflects HSE initiatives covering health, safety and environmental awareness relevant to the extractive and mineral processing industry.
The SPA has extended the Safety Passport scheme across multiple sectors in an effort to reduce the number of accidents. The initiative is nationally recognized and all quarrying contractors are now expected to hold a Safety Passport.
Those completing the course will receive a plastic photo card, similar to a UK Driving Licence, which will be valid for three years. This will demonstrate to clients that the contractor has appropriate awareness of health and safety to allow them to commence the job in hand.
The Safety Passport training takes place over two days. The first day covers basic health and safety, while the second focuses on sector-specific training for quarrying, including health and safety management of quarries, lifting operations, excavations, confined spaces and working at height.
Mentor are also offering one-day renewal courses for those who are due for their three yearly refresher, as well as one-day quarry-specific courses for those who are exempt from day one of the basic course.
Courses will be running throughout the autumn and winter at various training locations across the UK but can also be delivered at customer sites. Dates for the Mentor Safety Passport courses are available on request by calling Mentor on tel: (01246) 555222; or by using the contact form below.
