Safe Load Program Driver ID
The SLP load training and identification program is designed to provide industry drivers, terminal operators and trainers with the knowledge and skill to safely enter a fuel terminal or fuel depot for the purpose of loading a bulk fuel tanker.
The SLP load training program has been developed in agreement with safety specialists from across the Australian oil industry. The development of this single training program benefits industry safety, removing trainee confusion and reducing repetitive training across multiple industry participants.

The load training program was released in 2014 and consists of five (5) modules:
1. Health & Safety
2. Product Properties
3. Vehicle Loading
4. Tanker & Gantry Knowledge
5. Training Assessment

Safe Load Program History

Safe Load Program (TM) is an unincorporated joint venture business owned by Ampol Australia Pty Ltd, BP Australia Ltd and Viva Energy Australia Pty Ltd.

The business commenced management of the Driver Accreditation Training (DAT) program and Pass-2-Load program in 2009. The 2 Programs were previously managed by the Australian Institute of Petroleum (AIP).

The driver Accreditation training (DAT) program was created to provide drivers with a basic understanding of how to safely load a road tanker, with instruction in product properties, static electricity, basic health, site safety and product transfer. The DAT program was created in the mid 1990′s and had changed little from it’s original creation.

In 2014 SLP released a complete replacement for the Driver Training Accreditation also known as DAT or the driver passport training. The 2014 release called SLP “Load Training” the name better describing the purpose of training being delivered.

The Pass-2-Load program has been revised several times since SLP took over the program in 2009 changes to the program have ensured continual alignment with the state and federal legislation and Australian standards.
