Lentink's BHV group welcomes you

the new growth of emergency response officers, namely:

Thomas, Anouk, Halis, Mees, Ben, Nancy, Ivo and Tim

No less than 8 people had registered to expand the existing group of emergency response officers within Lentink.

First of all, everyone followed an e-learning at home. The theoretical part of 22 modules had to be completed with a passing grade before participating in the emergency response course.

The students were expected on Wednesday 1 February at 08:30 in the Hamelandhal in Lichtenvoorde. The course was provided by Saluvit education and training.

Together with students from different companies, the group was then split into two.

The course consisted of a half day 'first aid' and a half day 'firefighting and evacuation'.

The first aid consisted of:

• CPR + the use of an AED. This was also all practiced on a dummy;
• What to do in case of suffocation: perform the Heimlich maneuver in case of a blockage of the airways;
• Wound treatment and bandaging;
• What to do with a leg fracture / open bone fracture.

Fire fighting and evacuation consisted of:

• Discuss different types of extinguishers. Which extinguisher is suitable for which fire and which is not;
• Discuss different types of gases;
• Discuss fire detectors;
• Practice outside with the group with a fire blanket (flame in the pan) and extinguish a fire;
• A role play between the students.

In between the companies we were provided with a nice lunch.

The course was over at 5:00 PM. Everyone from Lentink passed and now belongs to the group of emergency response officers.

It was a very instructive day for everyone, with the aim of providing first aid to our people and visitors within Lentink as best as possible, if necessary.

These 8 new colleagues will now complement Lentink's already enthusiastic BHV group.

I wish everyone success
