Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • Are teaching materials included in the price of a FAFS safety training?

    For a basic FAFS training, a paper textbook is included in the open registration fee. For a FAFS refresher training, no paper textbook is included in the open registration fee. For an additional fee you can order a paper textbook.

  • Is it mandatory to have an evacuation plan?

    Do you have a fire alarm system in your building? Then it is compulsory to draw up an evacuation plan. Sometimes it is also mandatory to have an evacuation plan in buildings that have a permit for use based on the municipal building regulations.

  • What does a FAFS officer do?

    A FAFS officer offers his/her assistance if an incident occurs within a company or organisation. Article 15 lists the duties of a FAFS officer. These have been drawn up in accordance with the Working Conditions Act.

  • What does FAFS stand for?

    FAFS means in-house emergency response team. A FAFS officer acts if incidents occur within a company that threaten the safety and health of the employees.

  • What is the difference between BHV and EHBO?

    A FAFS officer provides first aid in the event of incidents in or around the workplace. A first aid provider offers first aid in incidents on the street, at home, etc. The biggest difference between a FAFS officer and a first aider is therefore the environment in which you find yourself. In addition, a FAFS officer sometimes has to follow additional training to have the same powers as a first aider.
