Rescue 7 Inc.

Construction sites are built on preparation, planning, and safety.

Emergency response should be no different.

Recent Ontario legislation requires Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) on many construction sites with 20 or more workers where projects are expected to last three months or longer. The goal is simple: improve survival outcomes when sudden cardiac arrest occurs on-site.

Why is this important?

A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone—regardless of age, fitness level, or job title.

When it happens:

⚠ The heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively
⚠ Brain damage can begin within minutes
⚠ Survival rates decrease with every minute that passes without intervention

Immediate CPR and rapid access to an AED can dramatically increase a person's chance of survival.

Beyond compliance, every employer has an opportunity to create a safer work environment by ensuring workers have access to the equipment and training they need when emergencies happen.

Rescue 7's Construction AED Package helps organizations meet legislative requirements while providing comprehensive support, training, and ongoing program management.

Because preparedness isn't just about meeting regulations—it's about protecting lives.
