Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AED cabinet?
An AED cabinet is used to store a defibrillator and protect it from the elements, theft and misuse.
Do AED cabinets need power?
Most AED cabinets do not require a power supply, especially basic models designed for indoor use. However, some cabinets may include features such as alarms, internal lighting, or heating elements for outdoor or cold environments, which do require electricity. In certain cases, power may also be needed to support remote monitoring systems that track the AED's status or usage. These added features are more common in public, outdoor, or high-security locations.
Should AED cabinets be locked?
Ideally AEDs should be easily accessible for use, but not for theft. Most AEDs for private use will not be locked, however cabinets for public access defibrillators will require a code from emergency services to unlock the cabinet to prevent theft and misuse.
How high should you mount an AED cabinet?
An AED should be accessible to everyone, including those who may struggle to reach it if the cabinet was mounted too high. So, an AED cabinet should be located in an easily visible and accessible location, 48 inches above the floor.
Where should AED cabinets be placed?
HSE guidelines advise that AEDs should be kept in clearly visible and easily accessible locations so that everyone can access them in an emergency situation.
Do AED cabinets need to be alarmed?
AED cabinets are available either alarmed or not alarmed. Having an alarmed cabinet is not a legal requirement in the UK, however it is strongly recommended as it deters theft, particularly in high traffic areas.
Why is my AED cabinet bleeping?
Your AED cabinet could be beeping for several reasons. Firstly, it could be that the alarm has been activated by someone removing the AED, otherwise it is likely a warning of some kind. Warnings are generally for cabinets that have electronics, such as a heating system and the beeping is to warn you that there is a fault or the heating is irregular.
Similarly, it could be the AED itself alerting you to the need to replace the pads that are attached as they have expired. This is only if you have an AED with a maintenance monitoring system.
Do AEDs need to be in a cabinet?
AEDs don’t technically need to be stored in a cabinet. However, cabinets help to ensure the defibrillators are stored safely and visibly at all times, allowing them to be hung on the wall so that they are accessible in emergency situations.
Some cabinets while protecting the AED from the elements also have the added feature of temperature control which is ideal should it be snowing or in the middle of a heatwave.
Where do you put an AED cabinet?
An AED cabinet should be mounted 48 inches up on a wall where it is clearly visible and easily accessible to all.
What are the requirements for AED signage?
The UK requirements for AED signage are that:
They are clearly visible
They should contain the universal symbols and easy to read text
They should contain instructions on how to access the AED (if needed)
If being hung outdoors they should be weatherproof
How do I choose a medicine cabinet?
Firstly, it will depend on what you are using it for and the general requirements that will come as a result of the purpose of your medicine cabinet. Secondly, it will depend on the size of the area you are planning on storing your cabinet in as the different types of cabinets will come in different shapes and sizes.
Should first aid cabinets be locked?
There are reasons that cabinets should be locked, but also why they shouldn’t. Ultimately it depends on how likely it is that your first aid supplies will be stolen compared to how easily accessible you would like the supplies to be.
How often should first aid kits be checked?
Generally, first aid kits should be checked every three years as the usual lifespan for a first aid kit is between three and five years.
Where is the best place to store first aid?
Primarily first aid kits should be stored in an easily accessible location. For most workplaces the best place to store a first aid kit is in a central location, such as the entrance hall, or an area of high risk, like a factory floor. At home, the best place is likely to be the kitchen or a cupboard in the hall.
What is a first aid medicine cabinet?
A first aid medicine cabinet is a secure storage solution for first aid supplies, typically either wall-mounted or free standing. It allows for medication, first aid supplies, or both to be stored in an organised and accessible way.
