Work-related fatalities in Sweden in 2023, the construction industry accounted for 30%. In 2022, over 35,000 workplace accidents were reported despite legislation stipulating that construction project should appoint a coordinator of construction site safety for the Design and Construction Phases (BAS-P and BAS-U). To ensure safe and secure workplaces for every project, it is necessary for BAS-P to establish a well-developed work environment plan to hand over to BAS-U for continuation and updating during the project. The industry often considers this handover inadequate, leading to poorer working conditions at construction projects. The purpose of this study is to investigate the handover between BAS-P and BAS-U to present potential improvements that ensure sufficient information is handed over, thereby improving workplace safety in the future. The study will be conducted in the form of a literature review, qualitative interviews, and a document study at two construction projects in collaboration with Veidekke. From the results, it is evident that the handover can take place through a meeting or just an email. Templates for the meeting are often available but rarely used, and the time for a meeting is short. The templates for the handover meeting do not provide space to address all necessary information, and communication between the parties is often lacking. The conclusion confirms that the handover template needs to be structured, handover meetings should be required, and more people should attend the handover. Additionally, communication between the parties should exist already during the Design Phase to contribute to safer construction sites. To facilitate this, collaborative contracting is preferable.
