The risks that can occur differ per company or organization. In office buildings, the risks are generally lower than in, for example, construction, industry and catering. By appointing one or more first responders and purchasing good first responders, risks can be controlled that cannot be eliminated by measures. For example, think of a colleague who becomes unwell or a fire that suddenly breaks out. That is why it is important that you have properly arranged the company emergency response within your organization.
Identify potential risks
As an employer, you have a general duty of care towards your employees. The way in which the company emergency response is organised also falls under this. Situations in which risks can result in calamities must be eliminated as much as possible. The mapping of these possible risks must be recorded in the Risk Inventory and Evaluation. Components that are discussed in this include:
- Number of employees within your organization;
- The location of your business premises;
- Evacuation plan;
- The division of your organization into spaces;
- Presence of non-self-reliant persons;
- Number of first aiders present within your organization;
- Presence of first aid equipment (e.g. first aid kits + evacuation equipment)
- Potential risks present for employees and third parties;
- First aid step-by-step plan.
The importance of good company emergency response > The BHV plan
As you can read in the last point, the emergency response plan is drawn up on the basis of the risk inventory and evaluation. The risks of the organization are mapped out. All remaining risks, which despite measures taken in advance, can result in an emergency, must be able to be absorbed by a good company emergency response. The emergency response plan outlines the steps that must be taken if an accident, fire or other incident occurs. Possession of emergency response equipment is essential in this!
