What is Safe Pass?

Safe Pass is a one-day safety awareness training programme managed by SOLAS, Ireland’s state agency for further education and training. The aim is to ensure that all workers on construction sites and similar environments have a basic understanding of health and safety principles.

 

It’s required for:

  • General construction workers

  • Skilled trades (carpenters, electricians, plumbers, etc.)

  • Plant operators

  • Apprentices and trainees
