An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device designed to deliver a life saving shock to a victim suffering from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Time is critical in these emergencies, as the chance of survival decreases with each passing minute. AEDs are essential tools in providing immediate assistance before professional medical help arrives.
One of the key advantages of AEDs is their ease of use. They come with clear verbal and visual instructions, enabling anyone to operate them effectively. These devices are designed to deliver a shock only if a person is in cardiac arrest, ensuring safety and precision.
AEDs require minimal maintenance, needing only regular visual checks to confirm the readiness light is flashing. This simplicity and reliability make them a practical addition to any workplace.

Sudden Cardiac Arrests frequently occur outside of hospitals. With ambulance response times averaging over 15 minutes in metropolitan areas and even longer in regional areas, having greater access to AEDs is crucial. Although there is no mandate for AEDs in Australian workplaces, many industries including energy, construction and logistics are investing in these devices to mitigate risks and enhance first aid preparedness.

It's important to consider the recurring costs associated with AEDs such as replacement pads and batteries. The team at Accidental Health & Safety NQ can assist you in navigating these ongoing expenses.
Additionally, AEDs and replacement pads are GST exempt and purchasing a defibrillator can be a tax deductible business expense. By equipping your workplace with an AED, you are making a valuable investment in the safety and wellbeing of your employees.
