Buy or hire an automated external defibrillator (AED)
We offer a range of AEDs to buy or hire, giving you peace of mind that you're doing all you can to keep people safe in your workplace.
30,000 people have a cardiac arrest outside hospital each year and quick use of an AED (combined with CPR) gives an unresponsive person who isn't breathing the best possible chance of survival*.
To decide how many AEDs you need, consider the size and age of your workforce and the nature of your working environment.
