01Is an AED available, clearly marked, and easy to reach?

Think about every occupied area—not just the main entrance.

02Does someone regularly check the AED status, pads, and battery dates?

A visible AED is only useful when its condition is known.

03Do employees know who takes charge during a medical emergency?

Roles may include calling 911, meeting responders, retrieving supplies, and directing bystanders.

04Can staff quickly activate 911 and give the correct address and location details?

Include building, suite, floor, gate, or jobsite information.

05Can EMS reach the patient without preventable delays?

Consider locked doors, gates, elevators, security desks, confusing entrances, and large facilities.

06Is there a workable medical-emergency process after normal business hours?

Account for reduced staffing, locked access points, and different supervisors.

07Are first-aid and emergency supplies easy to find, appropriate for the workplace, and checked?

The contents and locations should match the people and environment they support.

08Has the organization practiced a medical-emergency response in the past year?

A brief drill or tabletop exercise can reveal problems a written plan does not.

09Do employees know where the AED and first-aid supplies are located?

Awareness should extend beyond managers and safety staff.

10Are emergency procedures reviewed when staffing, layouts, access, or operations change?

Plans can become outdated as the workplace changes.

How the score works

A useful snapshot, not a pass-or-fail label.

Each “Yes” earns 2 points, “Partly / Unsure” earns 1, and “No” earns 0. The recommendation is based on the area where your answers show the greatest opportunity for improvement.

The scorecard is general educational information. Actual needs depend on the workplace, workforce, hazards, location, applicable requirements, and operating conditions.
