CFMEU launches a new Heartsafe Campaign

Too often construction workers suffer from heart attacks, particularly at work. Because of the nature of construction, building workers are often at higher risk of placing stress on their heart because of heavy loads, fatigue, and high pressure in their work.

The CFMEU has initiated a campaign to have defibrillators on all building sites. The system provided by Cardiac Responders is a quality system which has been installed on many major builders’ sites.

To organise a demonstration of a Cardiac Responder Unit at your job site, telephone J Glass on 9749-0400

About the Cardiac Responder System

CARDIAC Responder has created a comprehensive defibrillator system for facilities that combines:

  • The Powerheart ® automated external defibrillator,

  • Rescue training,

  • 24 hour monitoring,

  • Emergency response handling,

  • Medical oversight,

  • Lifecycle management; and

  • Maintenance.

This ensures that the automated external defibrillator is readily accessible, operable and used effectively, dramatically reducing the possibility of failure and protecting the welfare of the people it serves.
