Emergency Equipment

Fire Blankets

Check for fire blankets treated with gel for burns and flash fires. Read the maintenance card of any larger units for information on manufacturer’s recommended maintenance. Do the maintenance if needed and note it on the container.

Recommended for Remote Sites

AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) units have become more common and require some training to familiarize employees as to the proper use of the device. This training is often included in CPR courses. If training has been provided, check that the names of trained employees are posted where the unit is stored.
