Tech/Engineering - Management / Health & Safety
German term or phrase: BKO
Context:

"Vertretung der Interessen gegenüber den Behörden (z.B. Genehmigungen, im Rahmen der BKO"

Part of the remit for the Head of Health & Safety. Presumably BKO means 'Betriebs-Katastrophenordnung' (cf. http://abkuerzungen.de/result.php?searchterm=BKO&language=de... but what would that be in English? I'd guess it would be along the lines of "emergency management plan"/"accident management plan", but perhaps not quite. And which abbreviation would correspond (correctly) to BKO?

CEMP = Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
EMCP = Emergency Management and Continuity Planning
ERMP = Emergency Response Management Plan
BEMP = Basic Emergency Management Plan

agree  jccantrell: Yep, I would need to see company or plant or factory in there somewhere. I might opt for plant or factory over company because emergency plans are usually tailored to local conditions. If your company is big, it may have several plants all over.
