BAS-U

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering BAS-U BAS-P
Hello

I've found a very explicative text of the BAS functions

Då byggarbeten räknas som ett högriskområde för olyckor krävs numera att byggmiljösamordnare ser till att säkerheten är så hög som möjligt. När en arbetsmiljöplan har upprättats inför en byggnation är det sedan en person med beteckningen ***BAS-U*** som har som uppgift att se till att arbetsmiljöplanen också följs i praktiken. Det är byggherren som utser vem som ska vara BAS-U. Samma person får vara ***BAS-U*** och utforma arbetsmiljöplanen, det vill säga vara ***BAS-P***.

Found other mentions too but can't find anywhere what BAS-U (and BAS-P) can stand for

Does anyone know please?

Thanks

Right Jane, Define the Swe abbreviation with the Eng, and then use the Swe abbreviation throughout. The doc I'm working on now has a separate listing of abbreviations and definitions... making this even more convenient.
JaneD Jun 14, 2018:
Also, whichever you use, you probably need to retain the abbreviation BAS-U or BAS-P in the text, because they tend to refer to it in tables and so on where you haven't the space for the full English title!

Health and Safety Coordinator for Execution

Could also be "Health and Safety Coordinator for Implementation." I've encountered this before. "BAS" is "Health and Safety Coordinator"/"H&S Coordinator" ("BAS" stands for "Byggarbetsmiljösamordnare"). There is the BAS-U ("U" for "Utförande") and the BAS-P ("P" for "Planning and Projektering"), which is the "H&S Coordinator for Planning."
Together, they are the "H&S Coordinators (Execution/Planning)".
Peer comment(s):

agree Deane Goltermann : Right, something like this with 'Execution' since we are in the EU ... see https://osha.europa.eu/en/legislation/directives/15

agree Matt Bibby : This is definitely a better English suggestion than mine so I'd go with this, noting JaneD's comment re keeping the Swedish abbreviations as well :)
