Summary

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) program is more than a compliance checkbox—it’s a critical safety investment that can save lives, reduce risk, and protect your organization from costly liabilities. Yet, many workplaces underestimate the full value of a well-managed AED program or overlook the hidden costs of doing too little, too late.

In this webinar, we’ll break down the real return on investment (ROI) of AED readiness—from direct costs and legal considerations to the operational benefits of a proactive safety culture. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how to position your AED program as both a life-saving and business-smart decision.

Key Takeaways

  • Understand the true costs of AED ownership, including maintenance and compliance.
  • Recognize the liability risks of inadequate AED readiness.
  • Learn how to calculate and communicate AED ROI to leadership.
  • Discover strategies to gain executive buy-in and budget approval.
  • Explore ways technology can streamline management and reduce downtime.


Whether you’re launching an AED program or looking to strengthen your current approach, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to make a compelling business case for readiness. We’ll connect the dots between safety outcomes, legal protection, and operational efficiency—helping you demonstrate to leadership why an AED program isn’t just a purchase, but a strategic investment.
