BHV is the abbreviation for Bedrijfs Hulp Verlening (in-house emergency services). The in-house emergency services are intended to minimize the adverse consequences for staff members, students, and other persons present on the premises in case of accidents, fire, and other undesirable events (explosions, fires, the release of hazardous substances, etc.). It is important that the in-house emergency services can act quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency and, if necessary, immediately call in professional external emergency services, such as the fire brigade, ambulance services, and the police.
