AED Initiative

The Canton Regional Chamber and the Stark County Safety Council
is proud to announce the AED Initiative! 

Did you know?

In 2011, two lives were saved in two different businesses in Stark County, due to quick action, proper training, AND the availability of an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator).

We applaud Ohio Gratings and GBS (Malvern location) for having the foresight to be on the leading edge of workplace safety!  In addition, this should be a serious wake up call to all of us, that Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a possibility at any time. It knows no particular day, time, place, age, or other parameters.

Since we all spend at least 1/3 of our day at work, what better place to have an AED to provide the best chance of survival in the event sudden Cardiac Arrest strikes.  To allow more companies and employers to get these life saving devices in their facilities, the Stark County Safety Council has partnered with one of our members, US SafetyGear, to secure a discounted price for the Zoll AED Plus!  Zoll has also generously offered us a program where by purchasing units in quantities we receive free units to distribute to area non-profit organizations and other venues, which should have AEDs available, but may not be able to afford their cost.

Your company therefore could save a life, save money in preparing, AND participate in making these units more common place in Stark County!
