A fit, healthy colleague grabs their chest and collapses.
People hesitate.
“They’re young… it can’t be their heart.”
That assumption costs time. And time is everything.
Cardiac arrest does not care about age, fitness, or appearance. It can happen to anyone, anywhere, without warning.
What matters is what your team does next.
Chest pain could be angina. It could be a heart attack. Or it could become cardiac arrest within minutes.
If it is serious, every minute without action reduces survival.
Call 999 immediately. Help them rest. Give aspirin if appropriate. And if they stop breathing, start CPR and use an AED straight away.
AEDs are designed to guide you. You cannot get it wrong.
But hesitation is where outcomes change.
Would your team act instantly or second guess themselves?
Because second guessing is where lives are lost.
Training gives your team the confidence to step in, take control, and act fast.
If you want your team ready for that moment, the next step is simple.
