Policy rules on working conditions legislation
These policy rules are expired. However, they are the last described most concrete guidance for the government. It roughly stated the following: every two years, at least 8 hours are spent per Emergency Response Officer on refresher courses and exercises.
How often the ERO must attend a course is NOT stated in the Working Conditions Act. Of course it is good to practice a few times every year, such as an evacuation drill, but that must be done at your company. You must, however, be able to demonstrate that you have competent ERO’s and that is possible with an official NedCert certificate.
An Emergency Response Officer (ERO) provides assistance within companies and organisations.
According to Article 15 of the Working Conditions Act, any company with employees and/or visitors must have trained Emergency Response Officers. If a company is still small, the owner may take on the role of Emergency Response Officer themselves.
