Construction work environment coordinator for planning and construction, BAS-P and BAS-U, are two different roles with distinct tasks. However, the same knowledge and work regulations are required. Our training programs provide you with the knowledge you need to act as Bas-P or Bas-U.
Trainor offers instructor-led training and eLearning for construction work environment coordinators.
In all courses, we cover the Work Environment Act, the responsibilities of the parties involved, regulations, different tasks, risk assessments, and other practical knowledge you need to be ready for the role of builder, Bas-P, or Bas-U.
We can also tailor the training and conduct it on-site at your company to meet your specific needs.
Being a certified Construction Work Environment Coordinator is not just proof of knowledge – it’s a competitive advantage. Today, many clients require documented competence before awarding contracts.
Why get certified as Bas-P or Bas-U?
At Trainor, you can take the certification exam and, if you pass, apply for certification through RISE.
Are you involved in construction projects? This online course provides you with practical knowledge on how to take on the role of Responsible Construction Work Environment Coordinator. The content is equivalent to our instructor-led one-day course for Bas-P /Bas-U and includes a certificate documenting your competence according to the latest regulations.
According to the Swedish Work Enviroment Authority a developer is always responsible to appoint a Construction Work Environment Coordinator to plan the building and facility construction work (Bas-P) as well as carrying out the work (Bas-U).
Bas-P (Construction Work Environment Coordinator for the design phase) is responsible for work environment management during the planning and design stages of a construction project.
Bas-U (Construction Work Environment Coordinator for the execution phase) is responsible for work environment management during the actual construction work.
Both roles require specific competence and knowledge of the Work Environment Act and relevant regulations.
Arbetsmiljöverket (The Swedish Work Environment Authority) recommends that Construction Work Environment Coordinators complete a refresher course every five years to stay up to date with new laws and regulations.
Certification as Bas-P or Bas-U is not a legal requirement, but many clients demand documented proof of your competence. Certification is also a competitive advantage and clear evidence that you meet the requirements set by the Swedish Work Environment Authority.
Trainor offers certification exams in connection with our training courses.
Bas-P and Bas-U are required for all construction and civil engineering projects where work environment risks may arise — for example, during decontamination, maintenance, renovation, demolition, and new construction.
The client (byggherren) is responsible for appointing these roles within the project.
