How many Automated External Defibrillators are at your place of work?

Our Industrial Fire Brigade just added 10 more AEDs to our site. By my rough calculations this means we have 1 AED for every 150 employees and 1 AED for every 80,000 sqft of floor space (we have almost 2 million sqft). To put this in perspective, the recommendations generally are for 1 AED per 100,000-150,000 sqft or building floor. We now have an AED and emergency responders within 2 minutes of every employee on site!

The Philips HeartStart FRx is a great first responder AED as this author has learned through personal experience.
