What is Safe Pass Training?

The Solas Safe Pass Health and Safety Awareness Training Programme is delivered to ensure that, over the course of time, all workers in construction 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.

 

Who Should Attend?

From a health and safety perspective, construction workers are bound by law to hold a valid Safe Pass card. This includes construction apprentices. Applicants must be at least 16 years old
