Automatic External Defibrillators or A.E.D.'s are medical devices designed to shock a person's heart that is having an electric disturbance known as ventricular fibrillation.  For every minute that a person is in ventricular fibrillation (VF), and they do not get treated, their chance of survival decreases by 10%.  A.E.D.'s are very affordable to obtain and even easier to learn how to operate.

 

     A PAD program is designed to allow the use of an A.E.D. by members of the general public during the time of an emergency.  The program outlines all of the requirements for an agency to obtain and operate an A.E.D. at their site.  Safety & Health Solutions, LLC can assist you with all of the steps of placing an A.E.D. into service from:  selecting the right unit, quantity of units and placement of units for your site, medical oversight, training and a written policy designed to comply with federal and state regulations.
