SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST is the #1 killer in the US annually and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is the difference between life and death for these victims. Every minute that goes by without using an AED results in a 10% less chance of survival!
You simply can’t wait for EMS or First Responder community teams to arrive! National average EMS response is 8-10 minutes in urban areas.
OSHA highly recommends these devices in the workplace and there are many industry-specific, federal, state and local mandates for AEDs due to the death toll of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). But, even if you are not mandated — you should consider purchasing one of these devices. They take survival rates from SCA from 3-7% to over 65%! PLUS, if you can use a cell phone – YOU CAN USE AN AED!
So, are there any drawbacks to owning an AED? Yes, if you do not maintain them or implement them according to your applicable AED acquirer laws in your city/county/state. Think Safe knows these laws and is known for providing the legal protection and solutions our clients and dealers need.
Think Safe, in an effort to help our customers and dealers understand the legalities of defibrillator ownership, is sponsoring a webinar series on AED Programs: Avoiding Liability.
The webinar runs 3 times per day in March with speakers Paula Wickham or Greg Stebral, industry experts, providing key tips and resource materials for existing AED programs or those interested in selling AEDs or purchasing AEDs for their facility or workplace.
There is no fee. There is no software to download. You just need an internet connection (no phone). All you have to do is go to:
