The AED procedure chart information sign is placed where the AED defibrillator is installed. It contains a simple chart of what to do when you need to give help and use an AED.
The sign is made of 3 mm foamed PVC, resistant to abrasion and adverse weather, so it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The chart reminds a person who has never used a defibrillator of the successive steps and helps them act without hesitation. The AED procedure chart information sign hangs next to the AED cabinet.
Why the AED procedure chart information sign?
Under stress it is easy to forget what to do. A chart by the cabinet guides the bystander step by step – from calling for help to using the AED. When planning signage, walk the route from the entrance to the defibrillator as someone visiting the building for the first time would – wherever they have to choose a direction, they should see the next sign. Mount signs at eye level or higher, in well-lit places not obscured by doors or advertising. The AED procedure chart information sign will help an untrained person.
The sign is also included in the AED sign set – 4 pieces. You will find other signage in the category information signs.
AED signage – why is it important?
A defibrillator only helps if a bystander can find it quickly. Mark the building and the AED location with a sign visible from a distance, and the route to it with direction signs at corridor junctions, by lifts and stairs. It is worth placing a procedure chart by the cabinet. When someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, call 112, start chest compressions and ask for an AED to be brought – action taken by a bystander can decide whether the casualty survives.
