This course provides a practical introduction to the contractor's duties under the Construction Client Regulations (byggherreforskriften). Participants learn to identify and propose necessary changes to the SHA plan, with correct notification in accordance with the Construction Client Regulations and applicable Norwegian standards.
The course also shows how contractors with a good understanding of SHA not only strengthen safety and prevent accidents, but also promote good cooperation between the parties on the project. Systematic preventive SHA work makes lines of responsibility in project delivery more efficient, creates a clear cost–benefit effect and contributes to sound finances through correct change notices and proactive risk management.
Clients often involve external assistants in the various roles within SHA work. The course can also be adapted to the client's organisation to clarify responsibilities and follow-up in line with the Construction Client Regulations, in both the design and execution phases. Participants gain insight into how roles and duties are to be performed effectively, and how correct follow-up contributes to safety, good cooperation and cost–benefit effects in the project.
