Safe Pass and Manual Handling bundle for Irish site workers
Safe Pass and Manual Handling are two of the most common training requirements requested before workers start on Irish construction, maintenance, facilities and contractor sites. This page is for learners and employers who want one clear WorkSafe Ireland route for both requirements without relying on copied dates or unverified course claims.
The Safe Pass part is the SOLAS Safe Pass health and safety awareness programme. WorkSafe’s live Safe Pass page and upcoming courses listing describe it as a one-day programme, with public dates shown on the booking page. The Manual Handling part is listed by WorkSafe as online theory completed at a suitable time, followed by a practical or visual assessment after Safe Pass training where that course option is selected.
Why book the Safe Pass and Manual Handling bundle?
Many employers ask for both Safe Pass training and Manual Handling training before a worker attends site or carries out lifting tasks. Keeping both course routes together helps learners avoid missing a requirement and helps employers send staff to the correct WorkSafe booking page.
If you are comparing options, the safest next step is to check the upcoming courses page. That page is the live source for available training dates, venues and booking options. For official background on Safe Pass, use the SOLAS Safe Pass information. For manual handling guidance, use the Health and Safety Authority manual handling guidance.
