Organizations with mature occupational health and safety (OHS) programs already manage risk assessments, incident reporting, and staff training across many areas. AED readiness fits naturally alongside this existing structure, rather than as a disconnected add-on.
Risk Assessment Integration
Cardiac emergency risk should appear alongside other assessed workplace hazards — physical, chemical, ergonomic — within your existing risk assessment framework, not evaluated separately or overlooked entirely.
Incident Reporting and Review
Any AED use, drill, or near-miss should feed into existing incident reporting and review processes, helping your organization learn and improve over time just as it does with other safety incidents.
Training Calendar Alignment
Scheduling AED and CPR refreshers alongside other recurring OHS training — fire warden refreshers, manual handling, and similar — makes compliance tracking simpler and improves overall attendance.
Audit and Compliance Cycles
Include AED maintenance and readiness checks within your existing OHS audit cycle, rather than managing it through a separate, easily-forgotten process.
A Single Point of Ownership
Assigning AED program ownership to your existing OHS lead — rather than an ad-hoc volunteer — ensures it receives the same rigor and continuity as your other safety programs.
