Is there a recommended number of AEDs for large organizations?

The number of AEDs required depends on factors such as the size of the organization, the number of employees, and the layout of the facility. A general guideline is:

  • One AED per floor for multi-story buildings.
  • One AED for every 1,000–2,000 people in a workplace, with additional devices based on the number of employees in high-risk areas (e.g., manufacturing plants, gyms).

It’s essential to conduct a risk assessment to determine the appropriate coverage for your specific facility.
