| AED ALERT
- The legislation (EL Section 917) requiring the provision of
AEDs and trained staff is now nearly two years old. Part of the
legislation (Public Health Law Section 3000) requires certification of
staff through an approved provider. The duration of this
certification varies from provider to provider and is generally one or
two years. It is important that you check the certification
expiration date(s) for your staff and arrange for recertification,
when indicated. In addition, it is important that your equipment and
supplies be checked periodically to ensure that your units will
function properly, if needed. Please alert the appropriate person of
these requirements, if other than you. |

- NYS Education Department - NOTE: this
document was written prior to the new law and states that districts may
decide whether to become a PAD provider. Although this is no
longer true, the document is included because it provides valuable
information which may be of assistance to districts in the
implementation of the AED legislation. |
