Frequently asked questions

Emergency Response, ER for short, is part of an organization’s working conditions policy and helps to manage occupational safety risks. Emergency Response Officers (EROs) are trained to provide assistance in the event of calamities and accidents in the workplace.

According to the Dutch Working Conditions Act (Arbeidsomstandighedenwet) every employer is responsible for adequate Emergency Response Services to act successfully in firefighting, first aid in case of an accident or evacuation. As an employer, you are therefore obliged to appoint at least one Emergency Response Officer.

How many Emergency Response Officers an organization needs depends on the size of the organization and the occupational risks in the organization.

If you have appointed one or more Emergency Response Officers, the EROs must be properly trained and must have sufficient equipment to be able to perform their duties. 

During a basic course we train you to be Emergency Response Officer in your organisation. We teach you the basics and practice the exercises intensively. During the refresher course we first repeat the basics that you have learned during the basic course and then zoom in on the lesson materials.
