WorkSafe Ireland · SOLAS-Approved Training
Booking a Safe Pass course? Limerick workers and crews get the mandatory 1-day SOLAS programme explained straight — monthly courses at our Dublin venue in Tallaght, straight down the M7, and weekly dates at our Gorey Training Centre. €175 per person. Card valid 4 years.
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.
Booking a Safe Pass course Limerick workers can attend takes about two minutes. Here's the whole process, start to card.
The Safe Pass course Limerick crews use most. Monthly dates at our Dublin training facility on the Belgard Road, Tallaght (DWEC) — the handiest scheduled option, motorway the whole way on the M7. Free parking with a Luas stop close by.
Can't wait for the monthly Dublin date? Public Safe Pass courses run every week at our modern training centre in Gorey Business Park — free all-day parking, and combined Safe Pass & Manual Handling days so one trip collects both certs.

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.
A Safe Pass course with WorkSafe Ireland costs €175 per person for public dates, which includes the full one-day SOLAS-approved course, the assessment and your SOLAS Safe Pass registration card. Group rates for public dates are available on request — call 053 94 81445.
Safe Pass is a 1-day course taking approximately 8 hours, delivered by a SOLAS-approved tutor. You complete the training and the assessment on the same day.
Your Safe Pass card is valid for 4 years from issue. After 4 years you must renew it to keep working on construction sites in Ireland.
Yes — you must pass the supervised end-of-day assessment to receive your SOLAS card. The course is tutor-led and based on the SOLAS workbook handed out on the day, so attentive participants are well prepared going into the assessment. If you don't pass, contact us on 053 94 81445 and we'll get you sorted on the next available date.
You must be 16 or older and bring photo ID and a valid PPS number. You also need written and spoken English to complete the course and assessment. If you do not have a PPS number, contact us on 053 94 81445 before booking.
WorkSafe Ireland does not operate a training centre in Limerick. The nearest Safe Pass course Limerick workers can book runs monthly at our Dublin training venue on the Belgard Road, Tallaght — motorway direct from Limerick on the M7 — and every week at our Gorey Training Centre in Gorey Business Park, Co. Wexford, both with free all-day parking. Book at worksafe.ie/upcoming-courses or call 053 94 81445.
We run combined Safe Pass & Manual Handling days, so one trip gets you both certificates most Irish sites require. First Aid Responder and Fire Warden courses run at the same venues. Questions? Contact us — we answer fast.
