Get your fire extinguisher a friend

Your business sees a lot of people come through the door. Staff, customers, contractors, the guy who fixes the printer. If a cardiac emergency happens, the first person to respond won't always be trained. An AED means they don't have to be.

Just like your fire extinguisher, you hope to never use it. But having an AED on the wall means you're ready.

Do you need an AED for your small business?

You're in the right place if any of these ring true: 

• You have staff on site and want to be prepared for anything
• Customers, clients, or visitors regularly come through your doors
• Your workplace is more than a few minutes from emergency services
• You want to go beyond the basics when it comes to team safety
• You'd rather have it and never need it than need it and not have it

Checking all your boxes? We thought that might be the case.

Top shelf AEDs for small businesses

The best AED for a small business is one your whole team can use without hesitation: clear guidance, low maintenance, and simple enough that nobody needs a refresher course every time they walk past it. Wall-mounted and ready to grab in seconds is the goal. Here are our top picks:

Beginner-friendly AEDs

Nobody on your team should have to feel like they need a medical background to step in during an emergency. Today’s AEDs are made specifically so they don't.

• When you turn it on, it starts guiding you. Voice prompts talk you through every step, one at a time, until the job is done.
• It makes the call so you don't have to. The device reads heart rhythm automatically and only delivers a shock if one is actually needed.
• The pads tell you where they go. Built-in diagrams make pad placement straightforward, even under pressure.
• Some models keep your CPR on track. Audio cues and a built-in metronome help maintain the right compression pace throughout.

Any employee, any shift, any day. Turn it on and go.

Easier than your staff onboarding

Don’t let the thought of using an AED intimidate you! Here's how simple it actually is: 

1. Spot the signs. If someone collapses, goes unresponsive, or their breathing doesn't seem right, grab the AED and have someone call 911.
2. Open it and go. Most devices start guiding you as soon as you open the case or press one button.
3. Follow along. It tells you where the pads go, when to start compressions, and when to step back. Some models keep your CPR pace on track too.
4. Let the AED take over. It checks heart rhythm and makes the call on whether a shock is needed. You don't have to figure that out.

We bet you’ve sorted out spreadsheets that are way more complicated than this.

Don’t forget these

Adding an AED to your workplace safety protocols is a smart move. Now let’s take care of your device with a few accessories.
