Professional ERO Training in English.
Working in the Netherlands but don't speak Dutch? Our Emergency Response Officer (ERO) training is the English equivalent of the Dutch BHV (Bedrijfshulpverlening) training, fully compliant with Dutch workplace safety laws.
This comprehensive one-day course covers fire safety, evacuation procedures, first aid, and CPR/AED use. Perfect for international companies, expat employees, and English-speaking staff who need to fulfill their legal safety requirements.
Legal Requirement: Dutch law (Arbeidsomstandighedenwet) requires all employers to have trained Emergency Response Officers, regardless of employee language. This training fulfills those requirements in English.
Our experienced English-speaking instructor ensures clear communication and understanding. All materials, certificates, and documentation are provided in English.
