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!

How does your place of work stack up? Do you need help with corporate/management buy-in? Perhaps our site's successes can help you out. Let me know!

Thanks for sharing this! It would be great to see more data on how AED availability correlates with survival rates in different regions. Do you think legislation should mandate a certain number of AEDs per public space?
