‘SAFE PASS’

The FAS Safe Pass Programme is a one-day safety awareness programme aimed at construction site personnel.

 

The aim of the programme is to raise the standard of safety awareness in the construction industry, ensure that all site personnel undergo basic health & safety training, maintain a register of personnel who have received such training and provide all participants with a ‘Safe Pass’ registration card which will indicate that the holder has attended a formal course in health & safety awareness.
