Flemish term or phrase: nijverheidshelpers
Is 'industrial first-aid helpers' a reasonable translation?

context (from a brief description of the medische dienst of an industrial company, for internal use):

De medische dienst is gelegen ter hoogte van straat 5 en is herkenbaar aan het logo (witte kruis op groene achtergrond). Er is steeds een verpleegkundige aanwezig op werkdagen tussen 07:45 en 16:15 uur. Buiten deze uren wordt medische hulp geboden door de nijverheidshelpers.

Grading comment
I actually used 'emergency response helpers', but 'industrial first aiders' whould be OK too. IMO 'corporate first response' won't work in the UK, where 'corporate' is not regarded as a synonym of 'company'.

Corporate First Responders (CFRs)


Explanation:
Nijverheidshelper is a regular employee with as an additional duty to provide first relief/first aid in company emergencies: employees certified in first aid.

Or "emergency responders"

The references serve primarily as clarification for the function, not as translation reference. Googling CFR's yields many examples.
It seems more than one alternative would be acceptable.
