Thank you so much TDT!

I booked my HR truck license training with Vanessa from TDT and was assessed by David.

Smooth bookings - No hassle at all.

If you’re anything like me before a test (nervous) don’t be! David is a really knowledgeable trainer with years of experience under his belt. His instructions were very clear and his step-by-step guide will help you gain the knowledge and experience needed! Felt like working with a mate for a day!

Do not miss this opportunity to up-skill with TDT. Get in touch with Vanessa, request for David. Happy days ;)

I just got my Heavy Rigid with Scott.
I came here with a ball of nerves and a Truck and Bus handbook covered in more sweat than Ink.

Scott walked me through the steps of our day and explained in a calm and guiding manner how best to approach difficult procedures.

Ill be coming back for my EWP, and recommending our workshop use TDT for futher training.

I had a fantastic experience with Stan at TDT Training. He was highly professional, polite, and supportive throughout my training. His great sense of humour made me feel comfortable and confident, so I didn’t feel nervous about my HR driving test. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I was able to pass my test on the day!

I would highly recommend TDT Training, and especially Stan, to all my family and friends who are looking to obtain their licence. Thank you, Stan, for your excellent training and support!

You should bring a notepad and computer device to participate in the blended learning course.

Overview

Course Overview

The Safe Load Program (SLP) is an industry-standard training and assessment program designed for drivers accessing fuel terminals or depots to load bulk fuel tankers. Developed with safety experts across Australia, this program ensures all drivers are trained to safely handle dangerous goods, follow terminal protocols, and manage risks related to static electricity, emergency response, and fuel transfer. SLP training is essential for safety compliance across sectors such as petroleum, logistics, chemical transport, mining, and waste management.

Duration

3.5 to 4 hour course.

Target Audience

• Bulk dangerous goods drivers (DG licence holders)
• Fuel transport operators and logistics staff
• Personnel entering terminals for fuel loading operations
• Drivers in mining, waste, or chemical transport sectors

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, you will:

• Understand legislative and WHS obligations at fuel terminals
• Learn safety procedures for loading bulk fuel
• Recognise product-specific risks and ignition controls
• Gain foundational knowledge of tankers and gantry systems
• Complete independent assessment to receive a valid SLP card

Training Content – Load Training Modules

The SLP program includes five key modules:

1. Health & Safety

• Terminal rules, PPE, basic first aid
• Risk assessments and WHS obligations

2. Product Properties

• Static electricity hazards

3. Vehicle Loading

• 3 attempts permitted; support available for unsuccessful attempts

Switch Load Guide

Trainees are introduced to the SLP Switch Load Table, which outlines the correct safety steps to take when switching from one fuel product to another before loading. This ensures safety, prevents contamination, and complies with terminal requirements.

Safe Load Program Frequently Asked Questeions

What is the Safe Load Pass (SLP)?

The SLP is a training and identification program ensuring that drivers and their vehicles meet strict safety standards when accessing and loading at fuel terminals and depots.

Who is eligible to do the SLP course?

Anyone with a valid Dangerous Goods Bulk Driver Licence. Common participants include those from petroleum, logistics, mining, chemical transport, and waste management industries.

How is this different from a Dangerous Goods Licence?

An SLP focuses specifically on terminal access and bulk fuel loading procedures, while a DG Licence covers the safe transport of hazardous goods more broadly.

What does the course involve?

A 3.5-hour theory session covering fuel terminal safety, loading procedures, static electricity control, and emergency protocols, followed by an online assessment.

How do I get my SLP ID card?

After completing training and passing the online assessment, your SLP ID card will be mailed to your nominated address within 12 business days.

How long is the SLP card valid for?

2 years. You'll need to renew it before it expires. If your card is expired for more than 90 days, you must complete the training again.

Is this training available for regional drivers?

Yes, the training can be delivered via video conferencing to accommodate regional and remote learners.

Where do I book the terminal assessment?

Learners must book terminal assessments independently via the SLP website.
