Dear Colleagues,

Royal Mail Fleet – Installation of 50 AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators):

Introduction

Royal Mail Fleet have informed the Health, Safety and Environment Department of their agreement to invest in the provision of 50 Automatic External Defibrillators and the attached staff huddle/briefing details the actions required by Fleet Workshop Unit Managers/PiCs for the deployment of the initial 37 defibrillators which will be dispatched by RM Fleet and arrive in Units shortly. A second deployment of 13 defibrillators to additional locations will follow.

The AED models being procured are the “Heartsine Samaritan Pad 360P, fully automatic defibrillators”. The models provide a single button activation, after which the defibrillator will monitor the patient, provide voice guidance and if necessary, undertake ‘shock delivery’. They have a 4-year battery life (matching pad life), a ready to use visible indicator (this product is IP56 rated against dust and water ingress) and a 90-minute recording to aid emergency services review. See attached specification sheet and image.

The AEDs will be located within an RM Fleet Workshop admin area such as the Reception or Shift Supervisor’s Office and clear signage will be installed to direct the workforce and any visitors to the availability and location of the defibrillator.
