AED Guidelines

The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation contains legal requirements that must be met by all workplaces under the inspection jurisdiction of WorkSafeBC. Many sections of the Regulation have associated guidelines and policies. Section G3.17(1) – 1 Implementing an early defibrillation program in the workplace, states: “An early defibrillation program in the workplace has three main elements: an automated external defibrillator (AED) that meets acceptable technical standards, oversight by a medical director, and training of first aid attendants and other authorized persons in the use of the AED. These will be supplemented by written procedures.” Please follow the link to read the complete WorkSafeBC guidelines and policies for having an AED in your workplace.
