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.

The building owner is the person or company that commissions construction or civil engineering work. Under the Work Environment Act, the building owner bears ultimate responsibility for the work environment during the construction phase. The building owner’s responsibilities include:
Preventing health problems and accidents in the workplace
Creating the conditions for a safe work environment as early as the planning stage
Taking an active role in workplace safety and health issues throughout the project
Appointing a Bas-P and a Bas-U
Retaining so-called “backup” responsibility for the tasks delegated to the Bas-P and Bas-U
Bas-P is responsible for health and safety efforts during the design and planning phase. There may be only one Bas-P per project, and their responsibilities include:
Develop a health and safety plan before construction begins
Monitor the designers’ work on risk prevention measures
Provide feedback to the project owner in the event of serious risks
The Bas-P may be a natural or legal person and is appointed by the project owner or a contractor.
Bas-U takes over when construction begins and is responsible for:
Monitoring and updating the health and safety plan throughout the construction period
Coordinating the contractors’ health and safety efforts
Ensuring that work methods and risk assessments comply with health and safety regulations
If Bas-U’s duties are not performed correctly, the building owner may be liable to pay penalty fees
