Is Your State Rescue Ready? U.S. AED Laws

U.S. AED State Legislation

AEDs play an important role in helping to save lives. The survival chances for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest decrease by 10% for every minute that immediate CPR and use of an AED is delayed, according to the American Red Cross.

Having an AED on site is an important part of your commitment to safety. That is why most U.S. states have laws requiring AEDs in certain settings such as gyms, schools and public buildings with regular maintenance and testing.

Keeping an accurate record of your AEDs, maintenance and testing can help you be compliant with local and national requirements and regulations. A Cintas AED service program can help you stay rescue ready and compliant.
