Proper placement and signage are crucial to ensure AEDs are easily located in emergencies. Consider the following:
- High-traffic areas: Place AEDs in visible and accessible locations, such as near entrances, elevators, stairwells, or in common areas like hallways and break rooms.
- Clear signage: Use clear and easily recognizable signs with a heart symbol and a lightning bolt to indicate AED locations. Signs should be placed at eye level and be illuminated or visible even in low light.
- Centralized locations: In large organizations, consider placing AEDs in multiple strategic locations, especially on each floor or in areas where large groups gather.
