BAIV renewed SCC Certification (SCC* 2017/6.0)

BAIV, as a company, has already a SCC certificate since June 2015.
SCC (Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Checklist for Contractors) is a high-end qualification certified by a notified body (in our case the TüV). It ensures that both employers and employees are aware of the dangers around them. In addition, a VCA certificate / certification gives a clear indication that a company meet all safety, health, and environmental regulations and requirements and that both the employer and employees are fully aware of these. 
However, the certification will be reviewed on a yearly basis it expires after 5 years. Therefore, it must be renewed, in this case also in accordance with all new updated rules and regulations and for our complete new Nederweert facility!
On May 12^th 2021 the recertification was planned. A lot of work has been done by Ivo Jr. and the entire BAIV team, supported by Stan Lukien, a Senior Safety Expert from LOCC in the run-up to this fully new system of certification.
Result was that BAIV proudly passed the TüV audit without any remarks!

In September and October 2020 BAIV participated in total 6 Shooting days in the recordings of the Dutch mini-series ‘Thuisfront’. This series, produced by BNN/VARA, starts upcoming Sunday May 9^th at 20.20 hrs on NPO3.

The four-chapter series follows a battalion (400 to 2.000 soldiers) after their return from an international mission in Uruzgan, Afghanistan in 2010. The soldiers are traumatized by an incident during their mission. Their patrol was confronted with an IED (improvised explosive device) explosion followed by an ambush by the Taliban. However, the air support they requested led to civilian casualties and an investigation into the incident.
The war is still in their minds and at home they must fight for recognition of their work and mission in Afghanistan. The series is directed by Tim Oliehoek.

In the first days of the recording the APC (FV434) of BAIV was driven by Workshop manager Ruud Caspers. The Corona Pandemic was very active in these days resulting in a lot of restrictions. However, in the series this will for sure not be observed.!
The filming was not only restricted to the set but Ruud was also requested to drive the APC on several public roads. In the series Ruud is driving ‘under hatch’ giving the idea that the actor Tom van Dijk, played by Casper Nusselder, is driving the APC.

However, for the 2^nd part, filmed on October 25^th till 27^th, were recordings were planned near The Hague Ruud tested positively on Corona 2 days prior to the shooting starts!  
A quick decision was necessary, so it was decided that Ivo Rigter Sr. has to drive the APC.
Sr. never drove the unit ‘under hatch’ so he was ‘a bit nervous’.
Finally for Sr. this became a unique experience which he enjoyed very (verry) much! 

From the production team BAIV intensively worked together with Annemarie van Ulden (Production coordination) and Michiel Collenteur (Recording leader).

Especially Michiel Collenteur made a great impression. What a drive this man has and an enormous eye for, often small, details.
Annemarie with her team well organized al details with respect to documentation, permits, schedule and (highly respected) the payment.

The main characters in ‘Thuisfront’ are a.o. played by Bram Suijker, Lykele Muus, Mamoun Elyounoussi and Melody Klaver.
The screenplay was written by Paul Jan Nelissen, Peter De Graef, Jeroen Horrevorts and Elisabeth Lodeizen.

The mini series ‘Thuisfront’ (Homefront) will be the upcoming 4 Sundays at 20.20 hrs CEST on Dutch Television, Channel NPO3. 

It is with great disappointment that we announce the cancellation of the Opening of BAIV which was scheduled on May 28th and 29th 2021 this year (2021). Despite the encouraging announcements the situation remains fragile.

However, we are disappointed to cancel this event we look forward to another opportunity later this year. Our new workshop is a fantastic facility for the restoration and preservation of Military Heritage. We all enjoy to work there on many different projects every day!

We promise to come back on this when the situation allows us to organize such an event.
