LPG Passports come to an end
From the 1st January 2016
SLP will no longer issue LPG Passports to Drivers
For some time now SLP has been reviewing the viability of upgrading the old SLP LPG training and passport program to align with the SLP petroleum load training program. Due to the high cost in updating the LPG program combined with the small number of LPG drivers in Australia and the small number of LPG facilities that insist a SLP passport for driver entry; SLP has made the final decision not to go ahead and upgrade or continue to support the outdated LPG driver training program in Australia.
We have previously communicated with LPG loading facilities that participate in the SLP Passport program, and advised them that they will need to implement an alternative more cost effective and fit for purpose driver LPG training and approval program.
We ask that LPG transport operators communicate directly with LPG loading facilities regarding alternatives to the SLP passport for LPG drivers, and to communicate with their current training provider to arrange for appropriate alternative LPG training and verification of driver competency.
SLP regrets any inconvenience this may cause LPG drivers, transport operators and facilities, but we hope you can understand that we don’t wish to impose higher costs on the industry than is necessary.
Current LPG Passports will be considered by SLP as a valid recored of training and assessment until their expiry date; Please note this will be dependant on the individual loading facility and their decision to honour the SLP Passport and its expiry date.
