What do the different roles of builder, BAS-P, and BAS-U entail?

The builder is the person or company that commissions construction or engineering work. The builder has overall responsibility for preventing ill health and accidents during the construction phase and for ensuring a good working environment at a future workplace. The new regulations require you as a builder to be involved and active in health and safety issues throughout the entire construction project. The builder appoints BAS-P and BAS-U but is not relieved of responsibility for the tasks that BAS-P and BAS-U have, a so-called Backup responsibility.

BAS-P, where the P stands for planning and design, is appointed by the builder or contractor. BAS-P can be a physical or legal person. There can only be one BAS-P. BAS-P must prepare a work environment plan for the entire construction project before the construction site is established. Additionally, BAS-P must ensure that the designers work to prevent occupational health and safety risks and report back to the builder in the event of serious risks.

BAS-U, where the U stands for execution, must follow and update the work environment plan written by BAS-P. The construction work environment coordinator must also ensure that colleagues consider the shared environment, for example, when choosing work methods. The coordinator can request risk assessments with action descriptions as a basis for adapting the work environment plan.

BAS-U must also coordinate the control of other contractors and ensure that they comply with occupational health and safety regulations and the work environment plan. If any of the construction work environment coordinators' tasks are not completed, the builder risks facing sanction fees.
