SPA Passport - Mineral Products (MPQC)

The SPA Mineral Products (MPQC) Passport is a two-day training programme for people working in the extractives, aggregates and mineral products industries. It focuses on safety and operational best practice, ensuring delegates understand the health, safety and environmental requirements specific to mineral extraction and processing sites. Accredited jointly by the Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) and the Mineral Products Qualifications Council (MPQC), the course covers hazard identification, risk assessment and emergency procedures. On successful completion, delegates receive an SPA passport valid for three years, recognised across the sector as evidence of safety competence. This scheme was formerly known as the SPA Quarry Passport; SPA and MPQC replaced it with Mineral Products in 2013.
