Arranging Access
If you are using a vehicle and driver not already accredited at a Shell terminal, there are a number of statutory and corporate environmental health and safety requirements which must be met before access is permitted.
These relate to:
- the vehicle, and
- the driver
The Shell business manager will assist you or your carrier/driver with obtaining the necessary accreditation or refer you to others who will be able to assist.
Shell Australia Terminal Locations
Vehicle Approval
Before entering a Shell terminal, all road tanker's intending to load must comply with Federal, State and Local statutory requirements for the carriage of dangerous goods including but not limited to the Australian Code of the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (ADG Code) and any referenced publications outlined within the Code. Drivers presenting vehicles will also be required to show evidence of emergency response capabilities and liability insurance coverage.
In addition to the above, a road tanker presenting for a load must have an accredited Pass-2-Load in accordance with the Safe Load Programs Guidelines for Pass-2-Load operating standard OS7. This pass must be shown to gain entry to the terminal. Granting of a pass requires the tanker to be presented to an SLP accredited inspector, who will inspect the vehicle and either advise if rectification work is required or issue a Pass-2-Load. A fee is payable to the accredited inspector.
Local terminals will advise the location of the most convenient accredited inspection location. The Pass-2-Load is valid for a maximum of 6 months, after which the inspection procedure must be repeated. All vehicles must have bottom-loading, vapour recovery and over-fill protection.
If at any time a vehicle is found to be defective, access will not be permitted and the complete inspection procedure must be repeated.
Driver Approval
Before entering a Shell terminal, all drivers intending to load a vehicle must comply with Federal, State and Local statutory requirements for the carriage of dangerous goods including but not limited to the Australian Code of the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (ADG Code) and any referenced publications outlined within the Code. Drivers presenting themselves will be required to show evidence of a current heavy goods vehicle license for the appropriate vehicle and a current dangerous good license.
In addition to the above, all drivers must hold a current SLP Driver Passport endorsed for loading at the particular terminal concerned. Receiving accreditation at one terminal does not permit the driver to load at every Shell terminal. Terminal staff will advise details of how to obtain a passport.
The passport requires training and examination of hazardous dangerous goods knowledge and of terminal specific procedures. Hazardous goods training is provided by accredited trainers in all capital cities. A fee is charged for this training.
Terminal induction training is provided by Shell staff and is mandatory. A fee will be charged.
