Get St John Safe: A guide to setting up defibrillators in your workplace

Deciding to install a defibrillator in your workplace is a critical step toward ensuring the safety of your employees. But how do you go about it? What’s the best way to determine how many AEDs you need or where to place them? The St John Safe program can help guide you through this process, ensuring your workplace is prepared for an emergency.

The St John Safe Process
Through St John WA St John Safe program, a First Aid Specialist will visit your workplace to conduct a thorough assessment. They’ll help you figure out where defibrillators should be placed based on factors like accessibility and response time. Ideally, your employees should be able to reach an AED within three minutes of a cardiac arrest.

The assessment doesn’t stop there. We also help you identify how many employees should be trained in first aid, and whether your current first aid provisions meet the needs of your business. Regular training is important, first aid skills can fade over time, so we recommend refreshing CPR knowledge annually.

What Else Do You Need?
Aside from the physical device, maintaining a defibrillator is crucial. Your workplace should have a schedule for regular maintenance checks, and employees should know how to access the device quickly. St John WA offers tailored first aid training and provides businesses with the tools they need to be fully prepared for emergencies.

By taking these steps, your business can become part of the St John Safe network, a badge of safety that shows your commitment to your employees’ well-being.
