When will Safe Pass be available online?

Unfortunately, Safe Pass won't be available online. Despite numerous repeated requests by Holland Safety to the SOLAS CSCS and Safe Pass unit requesting to deliver the course via webinar or our eLearning platform.

SOLAS insist that the course must be a tutor-led programme and don’t have any plans that we are aware of to change this. Being an experienced webinar training delivery company, we would disagree with the SOLAS position and take the view that the course content and learning outcomes make it an ideal option for webinar delivery. This would give significant flexibility to construction operative among other benefits, however, it is outside our control.

Who should attend the SOLAS Safe Pass course?

• Craft or trade construction workers
• Security personnel working on construction sites
• General Construction Sector Workers
• Anyone the Construction PSCS decides must attend
