    Looks like its a straight swap
    FÀS Safepass cardholders are exempt from having to take the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test when applying for a CSCS card, providing the Safepass is current and valid. CSCS Card holders or affiliated scheme cardholders going from the UK to work on construction sites in the Republic of Ireland will have their CSCS card accepted in lieu of the Safepass card.

    For more information visit www.fas.ie/ or call +353 (0)1 607 0500

    Likewise, the UK CSCS card is normally accepted in Northern Ireland. Similarly, CSR has signed a mutual recognition agreement with SOLAS which means the CSR one day health and safety course is the only course recognised as equivalent to the SOLAS Safe Pass course. In the end end safe pass card swap with cscs card.
