SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment provides that federal work places must have
available on site an automated external defibrillator and a sufficient
number of employees trained in its use. This applies to locations that
serve the public such as airports and railway stations, as well as
locations to which only employees have access.
|
|
|
|
It allows regulations to prescribe training; to exempt small work
places from the requirement to have a defibrillator and a trained
employee available; to require large work places to have more
defibrillators; and to remove the need for trained employees at times
when very few employees or members of the public are normally
present.
|
|
|
|
Those who use in a good faith a defibrillator made available at a work
place under this enactment are protected against criminal or civil
liability.
