Care for people
First aid also starts with listening, reassurance and taking people seriously. We pay attention to visitors and to our colleagues.
Our team
Volunteers with a heart for everyone
Behind every deployment are dedicated people who make a difference together. Our volunteers contribute their time, knowledge and attention to visitors, participants and organizers.

Coordination during events
Cooperation extends beyond our own team. We also work with other first-aid teams, independent responders and organizations. For each event, we agree on the people, expertise and support needed.
The people behind each deployment
Together, we are EHBO Roosendaal SACE.
Our team consists of volunteers who use their time and knowledge to help others. During an event, we are visible and approachable: at the first-aid post, among visitors and wherever our help is needed. Calm, attention and respect for the people we help are central to our approach.
Every deployment is teamwork. One colleague provides first aid, another goes on a mobile patrol, stays in contact with the organizer or helps with equipment. These roles complement each other. We agree who does what and keep each other informed, so nobody has to manage alone.
We can generally work anywhere, with a preference for Roosendaal and the surrounding region. Volunteers, independent first-aiders and partner organizations each contribute in their own way. Clear agreements beforehand help us work as one team on site.
Keep sharing knowledge
We refresh our first-aid knowledge and skills every year. Working together also lets us share experience and practical knowledge during deployments.
Voluntary, built on trust
Volunteers choose their own events and may also work elsewhere. There is no fixed number of mandatory deployments. Once someone signs up for an event, we expect them to attend: the team needs to be able to rely on one another.
Roles in our team
Good first aid depends on several roles working together. We divide these tasks according to each event; each role does not necessarily require a separate position or person.
Coordinator
Leadership and escalation
The coordinator leads the team at larger events, maintains direct contact with the organizer and keeps an overview at the first-aid post.
First-aid cover
First aid and triage
Professional first aid, quick assessment of situations and appropriate referral to further care.
Mobile patrol
Prevention and visibility
Actively present among visitors for early detection and a fast response to incidents.
Support
Equipment and logistics
Set-up of the first-aid post, equipment management and coordination with external partners on location.
Communication
Alignment and reporting
Short lines with the organizer, clear handover during escalation and tidy reporting afterwards.
What an incident looks like
From report to resolution: this is how our team responds to an incident during an event.
📣
Step 1
Report comes in
A report reaches us through the organizer, colleagues or visitors. Every signal is taken seriously and handled immediately.
📱
Step 2
Dispatch through the EHBO app
Through our EHBO app, the nearest or available colleagues are sent directly to the report for a fast response.

Step 3
Assessment on location
On site, a fast but careful assessment is made of the incident: what happened, how serious it is and what is needed.
📡
Step 4
Scale up when needed
When the situation requires it, we scale up. Extra first-aid colleagues, security, traffic controllers or other responders are called in.
🚨
Step 5
First Responders called in
In a major incident, we call in our First Responders while the post prepares for larger-scale casualty reception.

Certification & quality
SACE has been active for more than three years and has been registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce since 2026. First aiders deployed independently hold at least a basic first-aid diploma with first aid for children (EHAK) and resuscitation. Most volunteers hold a comprehensive first-aid diploma with EHAK and resuscitation. We refresh this knowledge and these skills every year.
