Everything you need to know about defibrillators in the workplace
The importance of defibrillators no longer needs to be proven. Indeed, this device has two major functions in order to save a person's life. Also, it is essential for companies to have a defibrillator of quality in order to be able to intervene urgently with a person in the middle of cardiac arrest. \n

What are defibrillators used for?

\nIt is important to know the role of defibrillators because these devices can really save lives. Defibrillators make it possible to be able to analyze cardiac activity of a person and in certain serious cases, of make the heart restart of a person. Because of an attack or even a shock, the heartbeat then becomes totally anarchic. Thanks to a electric shock, the heartbeat can become regular again. \n\nDefibrillators are therefore essential devices within a company because you can really save a person's life before help arrives. \n\nAlso read: How to protect your electrical devices in business?\r\n

The different types of defibrillators

\nIt is important to know that there are two types of defibrillators: semi-automatic defibrillator which works by direct pressing of a button and the automatic external defibrillator (DAE) which operates in total autonomy. \n\nAlso, it is important to choose the type of defibrillator to have in your professional environment. In fact, the Fully automatic defibrillators (DEA) therefore automatically trigger an electric shock. On the other hand, with Semi-automatic defibrillators (DSA), it is up to the operator to activate the electric shock. THE automated external defibrillator automatically analyzes the electrical activity of the heart. This allows it to define whether or not it should trigger an electric shock in the event of a circulatory arrest. \n\nAlso read: A “clean vehicle” microcredit launched by the government\r\n

Defibrillators in the workplace

\nMany cardiac arrests occur in the workplace. By using defibrillators, it is therefore possible to save the lives of employees or collaborators. It is important to know that even if these devices are not obligatory in business, the employer may be held liable in the event of cardiac arrest of one of its employees. \n\nAlso, the employer has obligations in terms of cardiac first aid. Indeed, Article R. 4224-14 of the Labor Code provides that: “Workplaces are equipped with first aid equipment adapted to the nature of the risks and easily accessible.” It is therefore a first aid kit whose presence is perfectly indicated in the workplace. The defibrillator, for its part, is not obligatory in the workplace. On the other hand, it is strongly recommended to have one in order to reduce the risks linked to cardiac arrest. \n
