AED's In The Workplace
Having defibrillators (AEDs—Automated External Defibrillators) in the workplace can help protect a business owner from lawsuits by promoting a safer environment and reducing potential liability in several ways:
Immediate Emergency Response
In cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), having an AED on-site allows employees or bystanders to take immediate life-saving action. Fast defibrillation is crucial for survival in such cases, and having the equipment readily available could save lives. A workplace that prioritizes safety and has life-saving measures in place can demonstrate due diligence in protecting employees.
Duty of Care
In many jurisdictions, employers have a legal obligation to ensure a safe work environment. If a cardiac emergency occurs and no AED is available, an employee or visitor who suffers an injury or dies may claim that the business failed to provide adequate safety measures. By having an AED, a business shows that it has taken steps to address foreseeable risks, which can mitigate liability in potential lawsuits.
“Good Samaritan” Laws
Most states in the U.S. have “Good Samaritan” laws that provide legal protection to individuals or organizations that offer assistance in emergencies. This can extend to businesses providing AEDs. These laws typically protect people (and companies) from liability if they make a good-faith effort to help, even if the outcome isn’t favorable, provided no gross negligence is involved.
OSHA and Industry Standards
Although AEDs are not federally mandated for all workplaces, organizations like OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) encourage employers to consider installing them. Following such recommendations can help a company meet industry best practices and reduce the risk of being held responsible for neglecting employee safety.
Negligence Claims
If an employee or visitor suffers cardiac arrest at work and the business does not have an AED or trained staff, the business could face negligence claims. The argument might be that the business owner should have foreseen the possibility of such an event and provided the necessary life-saving equipment. Installing AEDs helps a business guard against claims of negligence by showing it took proactive steps to address health risks.
