Courier - Defibrillators

Post by **ArthurPewty** » 23 Nov 2018, 13:22

I think the letter in todays Courier speaks volumes about this company. To paraphrase the answer to a question about having defibrillators in offices:
"We put one in the biggest offices, but the rest of you can take a hike if you ever need one. Anyway there's probably one in the local supermarket half a mile up the road so just waste 10 minutes fetching that one while the OP having the heart attack dies. PS the DOM can apply to BUY one if you're that fussed about a minor thing like life and death"

Your spot on my friend,sums this company up,glad I finally don’t receive that courier anymore,finally after 3 attempts I finally got it stopped,pointing out that it bares no resemblance to my workplace what so ever,on that note I wonder how many units have a first aide? I’m guessing not everyone,we certainly don’t,

I think every large office with 100 workers or so should have one.

And how many people hand on heart would use it on someone if someone was to need it?

I'd move my hand off their heart before using it....

They’re all automated now. Just put the pads on and the machine will do the business if required

Pun intended!

Exactly, it's down the machine to analyse the rhythm of the heart and advise if a shock is needed! It's not as scary as people think but not as successful as tv shows!

It would be great if they could equip every office with one. I wouldn't mind being trained to use one.

I can send you unofficial training by PM if you want.

Pretty much, but there's a few more things to be mindful of.
