Valet parking stands at malls, hotels and restaurants are staffed continuously at high-traffic entrances — yet are often overlooked when a building plans its overall AED coverage, treated as outside the main venue.
A Continuously Staffed, High-Traffic Point
Valet stands see constant guest interaction at exactly the point where people are arriving or leaving, often while physically exerting themselves with luggage or after a long drive.
Physically Demanding Work in Heat
Valet staff spend long shifts moving quickly between vehicles, often in direct sun and heat, adding genuine physical strain to the role itself.
Often Treated as Outside the Main Building's Coverage
Because valet stands are physically separate from the main entrance or lobby, they can be inadvertently excluded from a building's broader AED placement planning.
A Natural Point for a Dedicated Small Unit
Given the continuous staffing and high visitor interaction, a compact AED at the valet stand itself is a sensible, low-cost addition to overall venue coverage.
Confirm This Is Explicitly Included in Your Plan
When reviewing your venue's overall AED coverage, explicitly check whether valet and other semi-detached staffed points were included, rather than assumed.
