Dutch term

BHV-ers

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Human Resources
Hi everybody,

"Weet u wie de BHV-ers op uw afdeling zijn?"

It's an internal company questionnaire. The immediate context is Safety Regulations. So, supposedly, a 'Safety Manager'.
Anybody can help me with an appropriate term for this?

Thank you, everybody! Special thanks to Philgoddard for extended explanations. I should follow your suggestion next time!
philgoddard May 2, 2012:
Sorry, I'm getting my initials mixed up - but their responsibilities often do include first aid. For example:

We've had this question before, anyway - so Katerina, please check the glossary before posting, as it wastes our time and yours.

I would not agree that they are First aiders per se, I have followed a BHV course and there is no First Aid involved - that's a different course (EHBO).
katerina turevich (asker) May 2, 2012:
(External) First Aid Advisor? please someone confirm I got it right. If yes, then I close the question. Thanks

Incident response team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An incident response team or emergency response team (ERT) is a group of people who prepare for and respond to any emergency incident, such as a natural disaster or an interruption of business operations. Incident response teams are common in corporations as well as in public service organizations. This team is generally composed of specific members designated before an incident occurs, although under certain circumstances the team may be an ad-hoc group of willing volunteers.Incident response teams are common in corporations as well as in public service organizations.

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : It would be "members of the incident response team" in this context.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you very much everybody! I choose this answer, because it also mentions "emergency response team" as an alternative, which is what I used in the end. Special thanks to Esther!"

company emergency response team

From JurLex (partial)
BHV => Company emergency response

Actually, JurLex has an entry for BHV'er => company emergency response team member

Think if you use company emergency response team members, you're on the right path.
