People will be safer at work, and companies could have lower insurance premiums if employees know CPR & AED operation. Training is recommended for at least some workers, across all shifts and departments.

CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is performed on someone whose heart has stopped. 100 chest compressions per minute, about the tempo of the Bee Gees “Stayin’ Alive,” is recommended. Compressions should go two inches deep into the chest.

An AED, automated external defibrillator, shocks the heart to reset the beat. Trained users can easily attach the unit’s pads and electrodes which assess the victim and determine the need for shock. AED signage in the facility should be posted to improve visuality so workers can quickly find the unit.

The American Red Cross and others offer CPR & AED training, with certifications lasting one or two years.
