Abstract	This guide is for those who run, or who are considering setting up, a 'Passport training scheme'. It describes what a Passport is, gives advice on good practice and includes a suggested core syllabus. Passport schemes ensure that workers have basic health and safety awareness training. They are welcomed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) and the Environment Agencies, as they are a way of improving health and safety performances. They also can help in reducing accidents and ill health caused by work. They are useful for workers and contractors who work in more than one industry or firm.
