AED Automated External Defibrillator - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Clearly indicate the location of an Automated External Defibrillator, a life-saving device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest. An AED analyzes the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electric shock to help restore a normal heartbeat. The sign ensures that anyone in an emergency can quickly find and access the device to provide potentially life-saving assistance before professional medical help arrives.

This sign should be placed in prominent, highly visible areas such as near building entrances, in common areas, hallways, or first aid rooms—anywhere people gather or where emergencies are likely to occur. The AED device itself should be mounted in a clearly marked cabinet or case alongside the sign.

From a safety and compliance standpoint, displaying the AED sign is often required by workplace health and safety regulations, public facility guidelines, and community safety standards. It raises awareness of the device’s presence, encourages its use, and helps reduce response times in cardiac emergencies.

In summary, the “AED – Automated External Defibrillator” sign plays a crucial role in emergency preparedness by guiding people to this essential medical device. It supports rapid response to cardiac arrest, increasing the chances of survival and saving lives.
