Executive Medical Services helps organisations across South Africa assess AED readiness, strengthen emergency response plans, and prepare staff, sites, and leadership for cardiac and medical emergencies.
The Risk
Many organisations have first aiders — but that does not mean they are ready for a cardiac emergency. These are the gaps EMS sees most often:
No AED on site, or AED not placed where it can be reached quickly
Staff unsure who responds first — no clear emergency roles
No written emergency response plan matched to the site layout
No regular drills or readiness reviews
Emergency equipment not checked or maintained
Leadership assuming "it won't happen here"
Why It Matters
Cardiac preparedness is about people, placement, process, and response — and organisations have a legal and moral duty of care to those in their care.
During cardiac events, every minute matters. Quick access to an AED and a clear response protocol can be the difference between life and death.
The South African Occupational Health and Safety Act places a duty on employers to provide a safe working environment for employees and visitors.
Preparedness protects your staff, clients, learners, and guests — and reduces operational and reputational risk in the event of an incident.
AED ownership without placement strategy, staff awareness, maintenance, and a response plan leaves critical gaps.
