Navan students take on Safe Pass training course

Transition year and senior cycle students from Beaufort College Navan recently completed their Safe Pass training with the Construction Industry Federation and SOLAS.

Safe Pass is the national mandatory safety training for the construction industry and students from Beaufort College undertook the training as part of their curriculum for this year.

Dermot Carey, Director, Safety & Training at CIF congratulated the students and expressed his gratitude to staff at the school. “Congratulations to the Beaufort College students on completing their Safe Pass training. Ms Russell and the school must be commended for giving their students every opportunity to develop their skills and their career options,” he said.

Speaking about the training Marie Russell, a teacher at Beaufort College said the training was a “memorable and rich learning experience for the students”

Students from across Meath and across Ireland are undertaking Safe Pass training with Construction Industry Federation as part of Transition Year, Leaving Cert and Leaving Cert Applied courses in schools this year. The initiative is part of the CIF’s Careers Campaign to support students interested in a career in the construction industry.

“Safe Pass is a key qualification we all have in the construction sector. From architects, site managers to work experience labourers, Donegal to Dingle, everyone working in the sector starts with a SafePass. I hope this qualification is the first of many for the students at Beaufort College Navan and leads some to a rewarding career in our industry,” said Dermot Carey, Construction Industry Federation.
