Extensions to the expiry dates on safety awareness registration cards from the SOLAS Safe Pass training programme during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are introduced. If a safety awareness registration card from the programme expires after the 1st of March 2020, the card is considered to still be valid. This is to ensure that people can remain qualified under the SOLAS programme while cards cannot be renewed as a result of the pandemic.
