Safety, Health and Wellbeing

Defibrillator

Our role is to develop and assist in the implementation of the UWA safety, health and wellbeing programs in order to minimise the risk of injury, illness and property damage.

We provide consultancy and other services to promote best practice and legislative compliance in all University and related activities.

Guidelines

Signage

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable and easy-to-operate medical device that analyses an unconscious victim’s heart rhythm and automatically delivers an electric shock if they are having a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

An AED will not deliver a shock unless its built-in computer detects a shockable heart rhythm.

AEDs are provided for use by UWA and UWA-affiliated first aid trained personnel to assist in the resuscitation of staff, students, contractors and visitors as necessary. In the absence of trained personnel a witness of a sudden cardiac arrest could act in the first instance by opening the lid of the AED and pushing it back till it locks and follow the voice and text prompts.

Please call (+61 8) 6488 2222 in the event of a SCA or any other emergency.

All uses of the AEDs must be reported to UWA Security and Parking (+61 8 6488 3020) and UWA Safety and Health (+61 8 6488 3938).

There is a twice-yearly maintenance and service contract on all defibrillators.
