Why this sign: A Defibrillator sign should be posted directly on or immediately adjacent to an AED unit, and at key decision points such as corridor junctions or building entrances to guide responders. It addresses the critical risk of delayed defibrillation during sudden cardiac arrest, where survival rates decrease by approximately 10% for every minute without treatment.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
