We ensure your Automated External Defibrillators are ready for use and compliant with manufacturer service requirements.
AEDs are covered under the general duties in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and the WHS Regulation 2011, which require PCBUs to provide a safe work environment and adequate first aid facilities.
The First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice (Section 3.3) provides the specific guidance: workplaces should consider installing an AED where there is a risk of electrocution, delayed ambulance response, or large numbers of workers or the public.
There is no standalone law mandating AEDs, but PCBUs must assess the risks and provide an AED where it is reasonably practicable.
NSW uses its own approved Code of Practice, while the ACT applies the nationally consistent Model Code of Practice issued by Safe Work Australia.
In NSW and the ACT, AEDs fall under your general duties in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and the First aid in the workplace Code of Practice. There is no separate law mandating that every workplace must have an AED, but the Code outlines when providing one should be considered.
According to the Code of Practice (Section 3.3 Other First Aid Equipment), workplaces should consider providing an AED if:
AEDs are designed to be used by trained or untrained people. They give step-by-step instructions, detect whether defibrillation is appropriate, and will not shock a person unless required. AEDs should be clearly visible, accessible, away from extreme temperatures, and maintained according to the manufacturer's specifications.
We offer general workplace AED readiness checks, including:
Important: We do not perform biomedical performance testing or AS/NZS 3551 certification. That testing must be completed by a biomedical technician or authorised service agent.
We also help schools maintain compliant and ready-to-use AED units as part of their risk management framework.
To save time and reduce costs, we can bundle AED readiness checks with your electrical test & tag and fire safety servicing, completing everything in one visit.
Our certified technicians perform thorough inspections covering all critical components and functionality:
Verify battery capacity, charge status, and remaining operational life. Replace batteries before expiration.
Check electrode pad expiry dates, packaging integrity, and replacement schedules to ensure effectiveness.
Test LED indicators, self-check systems, and alarm functions to confirm operational readiness.
Ensure AED is clearly marked, easily accessible, and properly stored in a visible location.
Maintain detailed inspection logs, compliance documentation, and next service due reminders.
We recommend regular AED inspections based on manufacturer guidelines and workplace risk assessment:
Our AED inspection services follow manufacturer service recommendations and align with Australian Standards for life-saving equipment maintenance.
