Note: Participants on the Safe Pass training course MUST have an Irish PPS number and Advanced/Fluent English Level. Construction workers are bound by law to hold a valid Safe Pass Registration Card.

The aim of the SOLAS Safe Pass Programme is to:

• Raise the standard of safety awareness in the construction industry;
• Ensure that, over time, all site personnel undergo basic health and safety awareness training to enable them to work on-site without being a risk to themselves or others who might be affected by their acts or omissions;
• Maintain a Register of personnel who have undertaken the Safe Pass Programme;
• Issue a SOLAS Safe Pass Registration Card to those who successfully complete the programme which informs employers that the card holder has attended a formal course in health and safety awareness.
