OHSAS does not require any specific equipment. an AED could fit within the requirements of 4.4.7, but only if the organization determines it to be necessary.

Oh, I forgot... Welcome to the Cove noisyboy!!!!!! :bigwave:

It will reflect more about the organization's concern to people in such an emergency situation requiring AED.
AED's are these days in various public places and in trains etc. As I can visualize, an AED may not come out of your hazard / risk assessment.
AED would be a thing to appreciate management's concern, and being proactive, more so if you maintain an OHSAS 18K management system.
Certainly not a requirement...

These 'example satements' of committment are not necessary and dont hesitate to push back when external auditors try to imply such things are necesary in order to demonstrate committment to safety.

and that comes from someone who has had a heart attack.

Although its not a requirement, take into account the sector you work in, workplace risks, the number of employees, their average age and life habits.

When you evaluate these parameters you just might determine that an AED is a very good idea.
