FLG Services boosts construction sector’s<br />
provision of on-site life-saving equipment<br />
The lifting and safety specialist has become one of the first equipment hire providers to offer shorter rental periods for the<br />
hire of portable, public a<strong>cc</strong>ess defibrillators.<br />
Until now defibrillators have generally been available on a long-term lease or had<br />
to be purchased. They will now be available for hire from FLG Services with a<br />
minimum hire period of just one week.<br />
With cardiac arrest among construction workers on the increase, this new product and<br />
flexible options for hire could increase the chance of survival.<br />
FLG Services has made a significant investment in the HeartSine Samaritan PAD 500P with<br />
integrated CPR Advisor. The defibrillator delivers a life saving shock and provides real-time<br />
visual and verbal feedback to guide the rescuer on the force and rate of Cardiopulmonary<br />
Resuscitation (CPR) compressions based on real time patient impedance.<br />
The HeartSine<br />
Samaritan PAD 500P<br />
with integrated CPR<br />
Advisor now available<br />
for short hire periods<br />
from FLG Services<br />
Survival rates can increase up to 74 per cent if CPR and a shock from an Automated<br />
External Defibrillator (AED) are provided within three minutes of collapse.<br />
The life saving equipment is contained in a high visibility 'tough box' and has the highest<br />
industry rating for the protection against dust and water. It has the fastest time to ‘first<br />
shock delivery’ with a charging time of eight seconds.<br />
Danny Smalldridge, of FLG Services, a division of A-Plant, said the new defibrillators have been launched to coincide with FLG Services’ safety<br />
week starting on October 16th.<br />
“We are extremely pleased to be one of the first specialist hire providers to offer defibrillators on a national basis, for short rental periods,<br />
providing companies with greater flexibility than ever before to look after the needs of people working on construction sites.<br />
“The HeartSine Samaritan PAD 500P is used in more than 40 countries and has delivered many life-saving shocks across the world.<br />
“With cardiac arrest among construction workers on the increase, it is vital that companies have the right equipment available to significantly<br />
improve the chance of survival if someone goes into sudden cardiac arrest.”<br />
