…how and when you can access it.
AED location services can help people identify nearby registered devices, but it’s worth familiarising yourself with the AEDs around the places where you spend the most time.
At work, make sure workers know where the AED is.
At sports clubs, community venues and other facilities, make its location obvious.
And if your organisation owns an AED, make sure its availability and location information remain current.
In an emergency, call 111, start CPR and send someone to retrieve the nearest accessible AED.
Knowing where it is before you need it could save valuable minutes.
Tomorrow: One AED myth deserves a very clear answer: can you use one on someone who’s pregnant?
