Course Details

All construction site and local authority workers (including apprentices and trainees) must ensure that they have a fundamental knowledge of health and safety.

Essentially any worker who alters, interferes or changes a building must in time have a Safe Pass card. The requirement applied to all workers in the construction sector on 01/06/03. Cards must be refreshed every four years.

Participants can attend the nifast Safe Pass course at either of our training centres in Dublin and Cork. This programme can also be conducted on an in-company basis at clients' premises or other venue. As nifast must register participants with FAS two weeks prior to attending the course it is advisable to book early (per person cost of €23).
