In-company Emergency Response Practical Simulation
Vitale Functies Opleidingen offers your Emergency Response Team the possibility to train during realistic scenarios made to measure to reflect the risks in your workplace.
Professional casualties and specific equipment are part and parcel of the emergency
simulations.
A simpler but just as realistic simulation can be created with an extended Table-top
exercise. The knowledge and skills of your Emergency Response Team can be put
to the test in practice. In addition, a Table-top simulation is a good and informative team-building event.

the basis for the next refresher training. Our slogan: “There is no such thing as a mistake, everything is a learning experience!”.
