If sudden cardiac arrest does at occur at work, isn it 9-1-1s responsibility?
Saving lives is a shared responsibility. Corporate sponsored in-house emergency response programs should complement, not replace, the existing 9-1-1 structure. Working in partnership with EMS, companies can help keep a victim alive for EMS personnel to treat when they arrive. Targeted company employees are in a unique position to minimize time-to-defibrillation. Workplace AED’s can be strategically placed within facilities, similar to the convenience of fire extinguishers, so that targeted responders have immediate access to this lifesaving equipment.
