AED Law Center enables members of legal profession and AED community to understand disparate laws and address complex risk issues surrounding publicly placed AEDs.
PORTLAND, Ore. – AED Risk Insights, Inc., announced the availability of The AED Law Center TM, a comprehensive online resource of current automated external defibrillator (AED) laws, legislation, court cases, government information, news and expert commentary. Founded in 2003, AED Risk Insights is the nationally recognized authority on AED law, public policy, program operations and risk management.
“AED programs exist within an increasingly complex and changing mosaic of laws that vary from state to state, even locality to locality,” said Richard A. Lazar, president and chief executive officer of AED Risk Insights. “The number of community-based AEDs is growing rapidly. According to Frost & Sullivan market estimates (2005), there are over 300,000 AEDs in public settings in the U.S., and this number is expected to more than triple by the end of 2009. Decision-makers evaluating AED resources and deployment must make well-informed decisions in order to comply with legal requirements, meet program standards and expectations and manage liability risk. The AED Law Center is specifically designed to help organizations design legally compliant AED programs and better understand the complex legal and risk management issues surrounding the placement of AEDs in public settings.”
