What is SafePass?

Safe Pass is a mandatory health and safety certification required for anyone working on construction sites or in certain high-risk roles in Ireland. Issued by the Health and Safety Authority (HSA), it ensures workers understand essential safety practices, hazards, and legal responsibilities to protect themselves and others on-site.
