Modular Home Manufacturer Receives Automatic External Defibillator Through Grant
Customized Structures of Claremont, New Hampshire received an Automatic External Defibillator (AED) through a New Hampshire stadewide grant.
Claremont, NH (PRWEB) November 5, 2005 -- Customized Structures was one of 6 local area businesses and organizations to receive an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) through a statewide grant from the New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Fire Standards and Training.
One quarter million people die annually from sudden cardiac arrest. For every minute that goes by while waiting for emergency services, the chances of survival decrease by 10%. The AED is known to significantly improve the chances of survival in a patient experiencing cardiac arrest. With figures like those, Customized Structures is trying to make their workplace even safer for their 200+ employees with an AED on site. Customized Structures has just completed a CPR, AED and First Aid training class brining the number of AED trained employees to more than one dozen. The grant provides funds for an additional 10 people to be trained in Adult CPR and AED which will tie into Customized Structures’ ongoing supervisor training sessions.
The unit is about the size of a small briefcase but carries with it an impressive amount of information and intelligence. It has been designed to verbally walk a person through exactly what to do in the event it is needed whether they have training or not. The units distributed locally add to the 400+ units the State of New Hampshire has already given. Of those 400 units, 40 have already been utilized in the field and proven to be life savers.
The AED was presented to Paul Spicer, of Customized Structures, by Bill Wood, the Preparedness Coordinator from the State Division of Fire Standards and Training. Spicer said of the grant, “It is great that these funds are available for companies who are trying to make their workplaces a safer environment for their employees, and this will be a great addition to the first response team we have recently established.”
