Many organizations have an AED installed but no actual written policy explaining how the program works — a genuine gap worth closing with a straightforward, practical document.
Start With Purpose and Scope
State plainly what the policy covers — device locations, who's responsible, and what's expected of staff — in plain language, not dense legal wording.
Define Roles Clearly
Name who owns overall program responsibility, who conducts routine checks, and who staff should contact with questions or concerns.
Include Maintenance and Inspection Frequency
State clearly how often devices are checked and by whom, referencing your actual maintenance arrangement rather than a vague commitment.
Address Training Expectations
Specify whether training is mandatory or voluntary, how often refreshers occur, and how new employees are onboarded into the program.
Keep It Genuinely Short and Usable
A one or two-page policy people will actually read beats a comprehensive document that sits unopened — clarity matters more than length here.
