Re-opening training centres RelyOn Nutec the Netherlands on the 28th of April

The government has not forced us to close, but from a social and health perspective we thought it was appropriate to close our training centres on the 20^th of March. Based on the wishes of our customers, the insights of today and the measures we have taken, we consider it is responsible to open our doors again on the 28^th of April.

In the recent weeks, we have been asked several times by our customers to provide our services and support them in their safety-critical processes. The risks within the high-risk industries and the public fire brigade persist. In order to work and act safely in the event of incidents, the professionals in these sectors must maintain their safety-critical competences because they are vital for our society.

We have investigated how we can re-open in a safe and responsible way, taking into account the RIVM guidelines and our specific business technical aspects. The RIVM guidelines and current insights have guided the additional safety measures we have taken to provide a safe working and training environment. Of course, the measures lead to limitations, for example in our training offer, the execution of the training, group size, logistics, etc. You will find a brief overview of the measures we have taken below. On request you can receive an overview of all measures taken.

Preventive measures before entering the training centre

• All staff, delegates and visitors have to disinfect their hands upon arrival
• All delegates and visitors have to sign the ‘Awareness and Prevention Form’ to prevent persons infected with the COVID-19 virus from entering the training centre
• All delegates receive a set of additional PPE

Preventive measures at the training centre, amongst others:

• Clear communication of the COVID-19 preventive measures
