Does my workplace need an AED?
While AED requirements vary by province, industry and workplace, having an AED on-site can significantly improve the chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest. Action First Aid can help you determine the right AED, placement and program for your workplace.
View provincial regulations.
Can Action First Aid provide First Aid training at our workplace?
Yes. Action First Aid provides private group First Aid, CPR and AED training for workplaces and organizations. We can work with your team to coordinate training based on your group size, location and certification requirements.
Do employees need training to use an AED?
AEDs are designed to guide a responder through an emergency with clear voice and visual prompts. However, CPR and AED training gives employees the skills and confidence to recognize sudden cardiac arrest, begin CPR and use an AED quickly.
What is Bill 141 and does it apply to my business?
Bill 141, the Defibrillator Registration and Public Access Act, is an important unanimously supported piece of legislation that will increase public-access to live-saving defibrillators and will save more lives from Cardiac Arrest!
The bill enables the government to create a registry of publicly accessible automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and establish requirements relating to the installation, maintenance, testing and availability of defibrillators in designated locations. The legislation also requires that AEDs have appropriate signage, be accessible for easy identification, and be properly maintained.
This Bill covers 6 key areas:
1. AEDs must be placed in ‘designated areas’
2. AEDs must be easily accessible
3. AEDs must have appropriate signage
4. AEDs must be properly maintained & ready for rescue
5. AED training is required
6. AEDs must be registered with the provincial 911 registry
Action First Aid will assist you from start to finish to ensure that your organization complies with all aspects of Bill 141. With over 30 years of experience managing some of the largest AED Programs in Canada, our passionate AED Consultants are here and ready to help you. AEDs save lives – but only if they are accessible, ready for use and you have someone confident to take action.
