AED campaign

Three members of San Remo Community Mens Shed successfully completed their Senior First Aid Course last week. Congratulations to Mick, Col and Alan T.

Discussion about the course raised the important issue of an important piece of equipment the AED. Automatic External Defibrilator (AED) is used to restart the heart when it is in fibrillation and is a key part of the chain of survival in heart attacks.

Bob decided that the issue is such an important one that The Shed should have such a piece of equipment available. He made a major contribution to get the ball rolling and other members followed in kind. Members are now costing and sourcing an AED for the shed.

Thanks to all those that contributed, an important initiative for safety of all in The Shed.
