Why have a defibrillator?
Giving employees basic life saving skills like CPR and using an defibrillator (AED) is important.
Most businesses will have a trained first aider.
But having fast access to an AED is key to the best chance of survival.
Every minute that passes after cardiac arrest, when the heart stops its normal rhythm, that chance reduces by a tenth.
So knowing where your nearest AED is located is essential, but most business won’t have one within 5 minutes.
This is why you, as a business or organisation, should consider installing one.
