A colleague collapses, your friend stops breathing, or a student is found unconscious — what should you do? Knowing the first steps to take in any of these situations could save someone’s life. UWPD offers CPR and AED training courses using American Heart Association materials.

How to Get an AED in Your Facility
Placement criteria for AEDs at UW–Madison are established by the Environment, Health & Safety Department. In general, funding for AEDs including installation and signage will be the responsibility of the department or work unit. Departments and work units are encouraged to contact EH&S to obtain more specific information on AEDs as applicable to their operations. The selection of manufacturer and model of AED will be based on standardization of units by campus location whenever possible.
