How often should people be retrained?
It is important that resuscitation skills are refreshed regularly, particularly by those who have a duty to respond in an emergency. The principle should be that skills are maintained at an effective level at all times. Individuals, employers and organisations should make arrangements for retraining to be easily available. The frequency of this refresher training will depend upon the individual but, for guidance, skills should be refreshed at least annually, and preferably, more often.

What is an AED?
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a small portable electronic device. It’s the only effective treatment to start the heart once a person has gone into cardiac arrest. This can happen to anyone at anytime. Time is critical; you only have a matter of minutes to restart the heart. The AED is about the size of a laptop computer, it is very safe and once trained, it is easy to use.

Is there any Government legislation or recommendations that employers should have AEDs?
There is no specific legal requirement for employers to provide defibrillators in the workplace. The Health and Safety Executive’s syllabus of first aid training for offshore installations does include the use of defibrillators but this is not extended to onshore first aid. However, the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 do not prevent an employer from providing defibrillators which could benefit both their employees and the public. Questions on workplace legislation initially should be directed to the Health and Safety Executive’s Info line. You can find a link to the Health and Safety Executive’s website here>>
