AEDs Save Lives at Work

Every minute of every day, sudden cardiac arrest claims another victim. Sadly, almost a third of these deaths could have been prevented if an automated external defibrillator(AED) had been available for immediate use at the time of the emergency. An AED is a device that can restart a heart that has stopped beating effectively. The American Red Cross is bringing life-saving AED training to companies like yours.
