AEDs for Businesses & Workplaces
10,000 sudden cardiac arrests happen in the workplace every year. A properly equipped and trained workplace can be the difference between life and death.
Building a Complete Workplace AED Program
An effective workplace AED program is more than buying a device. It requires the right equipment, trained employees, and an ongoing maintenance plan.
Workplace AED Programs
OSHA recommends AEDs in workplaces where response time from emergency services exceeds 3–5 minutes. We assess your facility and design a program that meets OSHA guidelines and your state's requirements.
Employee Training
Knowing where the AED is isn't enough. We coordinate AHA-certified CPR/AED training for your employees — on-site, on your schedule, with hands-on practice using your actual equipment.
Equipment Inspections
AEDs require regular inspection to confirm readiness. Our AED365 program tracks every device, logs inspection history, and alerts you before batteries or pads expire.
Multi-Office Purchasing
Businesses with multiple offices benefit from standardized equipment and consolidated purchasing. We deliver a single quote covering every location, with volume pricing built in.
OSHA Recommends AEDs in Every Workplace
OSHA's Best Practices for Workplace First Aid Programs states that AEDs should be available wherever the response time from emergency medical services exceeds 3–5 minutes. In most workplaces, that means having an AED on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my business required to have an AED?
Requirements vary by state and industry. Many states mandate AEDs in workplaces above a certain size. OSHA strongly recommends them wherever emergency response time exceeds 3–5 minutes. We can advise on your specific situation.
How many AEDs does our office need?
The standard is one AED within a 3–5 minute walk from any point in the facility. For most single-floor offices, one unit is sufficient. Multi-story buildings typically need one per floor.
What happens if an employee uses the AED incorrectly?
Good Samaritan laws in most states protect employees who use an AED in good faith. Modern AEDs also have built-in safeguards — they will not deliver a shock unless the device detects a shockable rhythm.
How often do AEDs need to be serviced?
AEDs should be visually inspected monthly and formally inspected annually. Batteries typically last 2–5 years; electrode pads expire every 2 years. Our AED365 program automates all of this.
Can you handle purchasing for all our offices at once?
Yes. We specialize in multi-location programs. One quote, standardized equipment, and a single compliance dashboard for all your offices. See our Multi-Location Programs page for details.
