Before recommending specific equipment or placement, a genuinely thorough AED provider should conduct a real site survey — not just take a floor plan and guess. Here's what that process actually looks like.
Reviewing the Building Layout
We start by understanding your building's floor count, footprint, and general layout, either from existing plans or a physical walkthrough.
Identifying High-Activity and High-Risk Zones
Gyms, cafeterias, high-traffic entrances, and physically demanding work areas get specific attention, since these zones often warrant priority placement over lower-activity office space.
Measuring Realistic Response Distances
Rather than assuming coverage based purely on square footage, we assess realistic walking distances and time from various points in your building to determine if additional units are needed.
Assessing Environmental Factors
For any outdoor or exposed areas, we evaluate heat, dust, and moisture exposure to recommend appropriately rated equipment and cabinets.
Understanding Your Staff and Visitor Profile
Age range, physical activity levels, and whether children or elderly visitors are commonly present all factor into equipment and pediatric pad recommendations.
Delivering a Clear, Actionable Recommendation
The survey concludes with a specific recommendation — number of units, exact placement, cabinet type, and training scope — tailored to your actual building, not a generic template.
