Automated Defibrillators (AEDs)
Units should notify EHS (ehs.office@utoronto.ca) if they are purchasing/installing an AED or moving an existing AED. When considering purchase of an AED, considerations should include: 1) working with your property manager/local facilities group (e.g. installation of an AED cabinet and signage); 2) implementing an inspection program per the manufacturer’s instruction (e.g. frequency, checking the battery, expiration dates of the gel pad), etc.
For a list of known AEDs at the University of Toronto, please see UofT Map and:
