Noel's answer about running executables is the correct one. In the OS remove his privilege to execute SQL Loader.

If the OS login is only allowed to run your application, then put it in a restricted shell and configure the profile to runn the application and nothing else. (I'm thinking from a UNIX/LINUX view here).

Simple rule:
User accounts run only user applications. Developers and DBA accounts run tools (like SQLPLUS and SQL Loader).

Set up the OS accounts correctly and you'll be much better off.
