Safe Pass Course

Safe Pass is a safety awareness training programme for construction workers. It is a one-day programme that allows them to work on construction sites without being a risk to themselves or others. Employers are required by law to ensure that employees on construction sites carry Safe Pass cards. As a result, employers must ensure that all employees are properly trained.

The Safe Pass programme is operated and managed by SOLAS and aims to:

• Raise the standard of safety awareness in the construction industry.
• Ensure that all construction site workers undergo basic health and safety awareness training to prevent accidents and avoid health hazards.
• Maintain a register of personnel who have completed the Safe Pass programme.
• Provide all Safe Pass participants with a Safe Pass registration card to confirm that the holders have attended a formal course in health and safety awareness.
• You will be issued with a Safe Pass registration card when you have successfully completed the one-day Safe Pass training programme.

This card lasts for 4 years from the date of the training course. If you leave your workplace, you can keep your registration card, provided it is in date. When it expires, you must then attend a further Safe Pass training course.
