Budgeting and ROI — AEDs as an Investment in Safety

Why Smart Contractors Treat AEDs as Both a Lifesaving and Financial Asset

When it comes to worker protection, AEDs aren’t an expense—they’re an investment in life, productivity, and compliance. Under Ontario’s O. Reg. 157/25, every construction project with 20 or more workers and lasting three months or longer must have a Health Canada-approved Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on site.

Thanks to Bill 30 (Working for Workers Seven Act 2025), contractors can recover a significant portion of those costs through WSIB’s AED reimbursement program—making early adoption both responsible and cost-effective.

AED4Life, Canada’s #1 AED distributor, provides compliant, budget-friendly solutions that deliver measurable returns: reduced downtime, lower compliance risk, and an enhanced reputation for safety leadership.

Smart Purchasing with AED4Life

Every AED purchased through AED4Life is Health Canada-approved and built for reliability in rugged job-site environments. To simplify procurement, AED4Life offers cost-efficient bundles that include everything you need for compliance and readiness:

• ZOLL AED 3 — Wi-Fi enabled with real-time CPR feedback and bilingual prompts.

• ZOLL AED Plus — Durable, low-maintenance design with long-life lithium batteries.

• Powerheart G5 — Weather-resistant, dual-language unit with self-testing diagnostics.

• Philips OnSite — Lightweight and intuitive, perfect for mobile or indoor crews.

Each package includes:
✅ Full rescue accessory kit (mask, gloves, razor, scissors, towel).
✅ High-visibility bilingual signage for compliance.
✅ A subscription to TrackMyAED™ or TrackMyAED™ Pro for automated monitoring and documentation.

Early purchasers also secure preferred pricing, inventory priority, and 110 % Price Guarantee protection before 2025 supply pressures increase.

ROI in Safety, Productivity, and Reputation

According to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, more than 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur nationwide each year, and every minute without an AED reduces survival by 7–10 %. Having an AED on site not only saves lives but also protects your business from costly disruptions.

Key ROI factors:

• Reduced downtime: Quick response minimizes work stoppage during incidents.

• Compliance assurance: Avoid Ministry of Labour penalties and WSIB findings.

• Worker retention: Demonstrating visible care for safety builds loyalty and trust.

• Tender advantage: Safety-ready companies rank higher in prequalification scoring.

• Public perception: Early compliance showcases corporate responsibility and professionalism.

In short, a $2,000 investment in an AED can prevent hundreds of thousands in liability exposure, lost productivity, and reputational damage.

TrackMyAED™ Pro — Turning Data Into Savings

Ongoing maintenance and documentation are key to long-term ROI. TrackMyAED™ Pro extends the life of your program through:

• Predictive maintenance alerts that prevent missed inspections.

• Digital expiry tracking for pads and batteries.

• Real-time dashboards showing readiness across multiple sites.

• Audit-ready reports for WSIB and Ministry of Labour compliance reviews.

These analytics not only ensure compliance but also reduce unplanned costs, eliminate paper records, and save safety managers hours of administrative work each quarter.

Financial Support Through Bill 30 and WSIB
