What does a Company Emergency Response officer do?

A Company Emergency Response (CER) officer is a staff member who provides assistance when incidents or unsafe situations arise within the company. A CER officer has been trained to:

• provide first aid
• contain and fight fire as soon as it breaks out
• evacuate the building if necessary
• raise the alarm and communicate with co-workers and emergency services

Apart from CER officers, the Company Emergency Response team is made up of first aiders, CER team leaders and specialised CER officers, such as breathing apparatus operators.

CER materials

CER materials include small fire extinguishers, first aid kits, AEDs, evacuation tools and communication tools. These CER materials can be found at central locations in the building and are present in sufficient quantities.
