The aim of the project "Building safely – Enhanced education for safety and health construction co-ordinators in the Nordic countries" was to analyse the need to strengthen training for safety and health construction co-ordinators and discuss the development of a model for a common standard of excellence in the Nordic countries, e.g. a certification scheme. The main activity was to run a two-day workshop for Nordic experts. Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Faroe Islands and Denmark participated. The report presents a review of the legislation in the Nordic countries on training of safety and health construction co-ordinators, especially the qualifications and educational requirements. Good principles for safety and health construction co-ordination and discussions from the workshop is presented.
