Information about the course
The in-house BHV course takes place at your own location, making it easy to train multiple participants from the organization at once to become Emergency Response Officers (BHV’ers). An Emergency Response Officer is essential for workplace safety, ensuring that there is always someone present to respond correctly to an emergency situation. An additional advantage of the in-house BHV course is that practical exercises can incorporate examples from your own organization. The space required includes a large canteen or hall and a parking lot for fire training.
