Upcoming Safe Pass Courses
Safe Pass
The purpose of the SOLAS Safe Pass Health and Safety Awareness Training Programme is to ensure, over the course of time, that all Construction site and Local Authority personnel, will have a basic knowledge of Health and Safety, and be able to work on site without being a risk to themselves or others who might be affected by their acts or omissions.
Lost or Damaged SOLAS Safe Pass Card ?
If you have lost or damaged your SOLAS safe pass card you can apply for a replacement on the SOLAS website by filling out an Online Replacement Application.
The SOLAS Safe Pass Programme has been developed following an initiative by the Construction Industry Training Committee. This initiative was incorporated into the Construction Safety Partnership Plan which was launched by Tom Kitt T.D., Minister for Labour, Trade and Consumer Affairs. Detailed consultation took place between FAS and Expert Working Groups representing the Social Partners with the support of the Construction Industry Training Committee. The consultation focused on the content and delivery of the Safe Pass Programme and took into account the target group to whom it will be delivered.
The Safe Pass programme requires the participant to undertake a written test and includes a number of written exercises during the day. Any literacy or innumeracy difficulties or non – English speakers must be brought to our attention prior to the course so as to ensure that they are adequately catered for. Those with difficultly understanding written and/or spoken English may be asked to undertake a course where a translator is used.
Aims of the Programme
- Raise the standard of safety awareness in the Construction Industry
- Ensure that all site personnel undergo basic health and safety awareness training
