Purchase an AED

According to “The Cardiac Chain of Survival,” each minute that passes by after a heart attack reduces a victim’s chances of survival by ten percent. In other words, a shock from a defibrillator should ideally be delivered within the first five minutes of a cardiac emergency. This presents a very small lifesaving window of opportunity for any type of response at the workplace.

Acquiring an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) is a step in the right direction to effective emergency response at the workplace. The American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids offers safety-conscious businesses a number of high-quality AEDs from leading suppliers of medical equipment. Our AEDs are simple to use and require no training, although it is highly recommended. We encourage you to consider the type of investment an AED represents. It is an investment in your company’s preparedness in the event of life-threatening cardiac emergencies which are responsible for 13% of workplace fatalities.
