ST JOHN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY FIRST AID EDUCATION & COMPLIAN

SOLUTIONS 9 Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at anytime, anywhere. The construction industry is one of the most physically demanding and high-risk work environments. Due to the physical demands of the job, construction workers are seen to be at a higher risk of experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest. Automated external defibrillators are safe and easy to use by any person, with or without training. St John SA has a broad range of models, and we can advise you on which model works best for your needs.

Why everyworkplace should consider having an AED Each year in Australia, approximatley 25,000 people experience an out of hospital sudden cardiac arrest with less than 10% surviving. Early CPR and defibrillation in the first few minutes increases the chances of survival to as much as 70%. Having access to an AED on-site could mean the difference between life and death. AED’s do not require training to operate with fully automated models available that voice prompt you through the CPR and defibrillation process. Defibrillators Overview Is your construction site prepared for a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)? Having an automated external defibrillator on-site can mean the difference between life and death in a SCA emergency. While there are no current laws to having a defibrillator at a workplace, chances of survival decrease by 10% every minute without CPR and defibrillation. Therefore, having a defibrillator on-site makes a real difference in the crucial time until the ambulance arrives.
