Emergency Medical Supplies

Emergency Oxygen

When an accident or injury occurs in the workplace, emergency oxygen is recommended virtually all of the time. Having medical supplies on hand assists the victim from deteriorating further.

In 95% of medical emergencies, the victim is still breathing and is usually conscience; therefore, CPR is not indicated.

Fire Department statistics show that CPR is administered in only 5% of emergency calls, but emergency oxygen is administered in over 90% of the calls.

Emergency Oxygen can be administered by anyone who has had a basic emergency oxygen administration course.

Automated External Defibrillators

According to The American Heart Association, over 950,000 deaths are attributed to cardiovascular disease annually, making it the leading cause of death in the United States.

Of these, estimates are as high as 552,000 people die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) yearly, somebody dies approximately every two minutes. SCA afflicts people of all ages, races and all degrees of fitness often without warning.
