197564 - An Online Assessment for Safe Pass Renewal

Safe Pass is a mandatory one-day health and safety awareness programme managed by SOLAS. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013, all construction workers in Ireland – including apprentices and trainees – are legally bound to hold a valid Safe Pass Registration Card. The programme is currently delivered by a network of SOLAS approved Safe Pass Tutors in a classroom setting. Once a candidate has successfully completed the programme their information is uploaded to our National Construction Schemes Database (NCSD) and a SOLAS Safe Pass Registration Card is produced. When issued, Safe Pass Cards are valid for a period of four years. Card holders are required to renew their cards before the card expiry date. Currently, existing card holders wishing to renew their card are required to complete a paper-based assessment in a classroom setting. SOLAS now intends to provide an online assessment facility as an alternative to this. It is envisaged that the online assessment will be delivered in a national network of assessment centres. Candidate’s eligibility will need to be confirmed using a front-end solution, to be developed by SOLAS. All first time Safe Pass card applicants will continue to be required to attend the classroom-based programme and paper-based assessment.
