Oregon Passes Legislation Requiring AED's in Schools

During the 2010 Special Session, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 1033.  This bill requires each school campus to have at least one automated external defibrillator (AED) on premises. Compliance is required on or before January 1, 2015. The new Oregon AED law applies to all public schools, private and charter schools in the state of Oregon.

Why Put AED's Schools? One question we receive quite frequently is: Why do we need AED's in schools? Although the incidence of cardiac arrest is higher in adults than children, there is a vast amount of information that suggests cardiac arrest in children is on the rise and just one incident can devastate a school and a community. Schools are not just for children, schools are for the community and tend to be a gathering place for public functions and events and are frequented by all ages. We have complied some articles about AED's in schools and cardiac arrest in children. AEDUniverse.com and Northwest Health and Safety Inc. has partnered with schools across the country to provide selected AED's and Accessories to schools at discounted prices. Are you a school?
