Utility and high-risk organizations span a wide spectrum when it comes to AED programs—from no deployment at all to thousands of devices across fleets and crews. This webinar explores how AED programs have evolved, why traditional approaches often fall short in modern utility environments, and what safety leaders should consider to ensure real-world readiness rather than assumed protection.
Learning Objectives:
Why having AEDs does not automatically mean being prepared
Why traditional inspection and oversight models struggle in the field
Common gaps in both new and long-standing AED programs
How AED program expectations have changed with mobile and field-based workforces
Practical considerations for building or modernizing a program without increasing administrative burden
