Defibrillation (AED)
Cardiac Arrest is the biggest killer in this country. The majority could have been saved if a defibrillator was made available. Automated External Defibrillators (AED's) are now becoming more common throughout a range of workplaces. A casualty's survival rate will dramatically increase if an AED is available and if you have appropriately qualified personnel to use it.
