ONTARIO'S BILL 141
Defibrillator Registration and Public Access Act, 2020
Bill 141 outlines the new requirements relating to installation, maintenance, availability and testing of AEDs for owners of designated public areas.
What Bill 141 means for owners of designated public areas
Unfortunately, each year approximately 7,000 Ontarians will experience cardiac arrest. Up to 85% of those cardiac arrests occur in a public location or within their homes. A family member, friend or a colleague is usually there to witness the cardiac arrest. The startling statistic is 9 out of 10 people that have a cardiac arrest will not survive if they are not within a hospital. A defibrillator can greatly improve cardiac arrest survival rates by more than 70% when done along with CPR. Making sure AED units are rescue ready and available to members of the public, can help to have a successful outcome for a cardiac arrest.
Bill 141 Includes:
- AED units are required in public premises
- AED units are required to be visible when installed in these locations
- AED units are required to have appropriate signage
- AED units are required to be maintained and tested by someone to ensure they are rescue ready in case of emergency
- AED units are required to be tested or to be able to provide records that self-tests have been done on the unit
- AED units are required to be registered with 9-1-1
- AED training is required by all locations who will have an AED on site.
