Where the safe pass course coolock is held — our Dublin centre is in Tallaght
WorkSafe Ireland does not have a training room inside Coolock, and we would rather say that plainly than advertise one that does not exist. Our Dublin venue is Uppercross Enterprises, Belgard Road, Tallaght, Dublin 24 (D24 X8CT). Every safe pass course coolock we run is delivered at that address, and public Safe Pass courses for Coolock and the wider Dublin 5, 13 and 17 area run there, a 37 minute (28 km) drive from Coolock. There is free on-site parking and a ground-floor training room.
That covers learners travelling in from Coolock itself and from Artane, Clonshaugh, Darndale, Santry, Beaumont, Raheny and the Northside industrial estates around the Malahide Road.

If you have a group of staff in Coolock, on-site delivery is the other route to a safe pass course coolock — the tutor travels to your premises instead of your crew losing time to travel. Email info@worksafe.ie or call 053 94 81445 with your numbers and location and you will get a straight answer on whether an on-site date works.
Getting to Belgard Road from Coolock
By car it is out to the M50 at Ballymun or Santry, then southbound to the Belgard Road exit — 28 km, about 37 minutes in typical conditions, and the route passes the eFlow toll point. Free on-site parking at the venue, so there is no city-centre parking charge on top of the course fee.
Every safe pass course coolock starts at 8:00am and the assessment is sat at the end of the day, so build the 37 minute (28 km) run in against Dublin morning traffic rather than the off-peak figure. Arriving late is the one thing that cannot be worked around — SOLAS sets the contact hours for the programme.
What the Safe Pass day involves
A safe pass course coolock is not a different syllabus from any other Safe Pass date — it is the same national programme, held at our Tallaght centre. Safe Pass is a one-day health and safety awareness programme set by SOLAS. It runs 8:00am to 4:00pm in Tallaght and finishes with the written assessment, so plan for a full working day away from site rather than a half day.
The programme covers the legal duties that apply on Irish construction sites, accident reporting and prevention, manual handling awareness, working at height, excavations and confined spaces, electricity and underground services, and the health hazards you meet day to day such as noise, dust and vibration. It is delivered by a SOLAS-registered tutor in the room with you — every valid card in Ireland comes from a tutor-delivered course.
What to bring
Before booking a safe pass course coolock, check the entry rules. SOLAS sets three conditions on every participant and no provider can work around them: you must be 16 years or older, a PPS number, and the ability to speak and write English. Bring photo identification and your PPS number written down. Without a PPS number SOLAS cannot issue your card.
- Photo ID
- Your PPS number
- Something to write with for the end-of-day assessment
- Your own lunch, or cash for lunch locally
- Enough time for the 37 minute (28 km) run in from Coolock before the 8:00am start
What a safe pass course coolock costs
A safe pass course coolock is listed at €149.99 on the WorkSafe Ireland public calendar. That is the all-in figure for the public course: SOLAS registration card, course materials and refreshments on the day are included, and there is no booking fee. Your travel in from Coolock is your own cost.
Prices and dates for a safe pass course coolock are read from the live calendar rather than typed in from memory. If anything here does not match the live schedule, the schedule is correct — it is the single source of truth.
Adding Manual Handling to the same trip
If you are travelling in from Coolock for a safe pass course coolock anyway, the efficient move is to clear Manual Handling at the same time. WorkSafe Ireland runs it in two parts: the theory is completed online at a time that suits you, and the visual practical assessment — roughly fifteen minutes — is taken straight after the Safe Pass course at the same Tallaght venue. It is listed at €50.00. One trip, two certificates.
Why there is no online Safe Pass for Coolock
Search for a safe pass course coolock and Google will show you results promising an online or same-day Safe Pass. SOLAS does not recognise any online-only Safe Pass, and a card issued by an online-only provider is not accepted on Irish construction sites. The SOLAS Safe Pass information page and the Citizens Information page on Safe Pass both set this out. If a site foreman rejects your card, that money is gone. Sit the tutor-led course in Tallaght.
Renewal is a different route from the initial course. If you already hold a card you can either sit the one-day course again or take the SOLAS alternative renewal test, a computer-based exam sat at an approved test centre and booked through your SOLAS account.
