Safe pass course Limerick workers can actually rely on

Safe Pass is the mandatory health and safety awareness programme for anyone working on a construction site in Ireland. Limerick is the anchor of the Mid-West — from city-centre jobs to sites in Castletroy, Raheen, Annacotty and Newcastle West — and no worker steps on any of them without a valid SOLAS card.

Yet there's no dominant local provider running a Safe Pass course Limerick workers can count on. That's exactly why so many searches end in confusion, sold-out dates or dodgy "online Safe Pass" offers.

Here's the honest picture. WorkSafe Ireland is a SOLAS-approved Safe Pass provider and PHECC-approved First Aid Response centre, headquartered at Gorey Business Park, Co. Wexford and training Irish businesses since 2008.

We won't pretend to have a Limerick training centre — we don't. What you get instead is a Safe Pass course Limerick workers can book with total clarity: monthly public dates at our Dublin venue in Tallaght, straight down the M7, and weekly dates at our Gorey Training Centre.

Every fact on this page is verified — price, duration, what to bring, and what SOLAS actually allows. No invented venues, no invented dates.

Every Safe Pass course Limerick workers book with us includes the full day's tuition, the supervised assessment and the SOLAS card application in the €175. Who pays? Employers commonly cover Safe Pass for their crews, and plenty of workers book their own to stay site-ready — either way, it's one day and one price.

How to book a Safe Pass course — Limerick workers' 4 steps

Booking a Safe Pass course Limerick workers can attend takes about two minutes. Here's the whole process, start to card.

  1. Book your place. Reserve a date online at our upcoming courses page or call 053 94 81445. Group bookings are welcome on any public date.
  2. Attend the 1-day course. A SOLAS-approved tutor delivers the full programme in a single day — approximately 8 hours covering site safety legislation, risk assessment, working at heights, vehicles and plant, and accident reporting.
  3. Pass the assessment. The end-of-day assessment is supervised by your SOLAS-registered tutor, and the workbook is handed out on the day so you can prepare as you go.
  4. Receive your SOLAS card. SOLAS issues your Safe Pass card by post, usually within about two weeks. It's valid for 4 years on any construction site in Ireland.

Can you do a Safe Pass course online?

Searches for online Safe Pass courses have surged — so here is the straight answer. The initial Safe Pass course must be completed in person with a SOLAS-registered tutor, because the assessment has to be supervised.

It cannot be done fully online. There is no fully online Safe Pass course Limerick workers can legitimately book anywhere, so treat any site selling one with caution.

Since 2023, existing card holders can renew through SOLAS's computer-based test at an approved centre. For first-time cards and for most renewals, the tutor-led Safe Pass course Limerick workers travel to remains the route. Check the official rules at solas.ie and site safety duties at hsa.ie.
