BHV – Basic training for Emergency Response Officer (1 day)

Good working conditions for your employees are important, in order to ensure there will be no negative effects on their health, safety and welfare. The employer should therefore designate one or more employees as emergency response officers. In situations which can endanger people’s safety or health at work, these employees will be able to take action and provide assistance, in order to minimize the consequences of the incident as much as possible.

The employer is, and will remain at all times, responsible for the health and safety within the company.
The emergency response officer will act as a first response unit before the professional emergency services arrive, such as police, fire and/or ambulance. KHN Amsterdam and BRN Brandbeveiliging have developed a one-day Emergency Response Officer training course (+ e-learning).

To whom it applies

The training is intended for members of KHN Amsterdam and their employees, who are responsible for providing assistance when calamities and/or accidents occur. A certain number of employees should be able to fulfil the tasks of an emergency response officer in every company.
