Safe Pass is a general duty on employers under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act (2005) for the provision of such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety and health at work of their employees. Under the Safety Health and Welfare at Work (2006) construction regulations, Construction Safety card / safety awareness programmes applies to:
- (a) craft and general construction workers,
- (b) persons undertaking on-site security work, and
- (c) persons or classes of persons as may be prescribed by the Minister.
This course is for all construction site and local authority workers (including apprentices and trainees) to ensure that they have a fundamental knowledge of health and safety.
