The start of a new academic year is a natural, recurring checkpoint for UAE schools to review AED readiness — before students, staff, and the busy pace of term time make it easy to postpone.
Check Every Device's Status Before Term Starts
Confirm battery and pad expiry dates across every AED on campus, ensuring nothing will lapse mid-term when attention is inevitably focused elsewhere.
Review Staff Turnover
New academic years often bring staff changes — confirm newly joined teachers and staff receive AED orientation as part of their induction, not left until a later, less certain date.
Refresh Returning Staff
For staff who received training the previous year, a brief refresher at the start of term reinforces retention before skills have had a full year to fade.
Reassess Campus Changes
New buildings, renovated spaces, or changed foot traffic patterns since the previous year may affect whether your current AED placement still provides adequate coverage.
Communicate to New Parents and Students
For new student intake and their families, a brief mention of campus safety provisions, including AED readiness, reinforces institutional trust from day one.
Update Your Documentation
Refresh your emergency response binder and maintenance logs for the new academic year, ensuring records stay current rather than trailing behind by a full year.
