SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of a push to
bolster safety every Multiplex construction, development and office
site around the world is being supplied with a CARDIAC Responder
system from life safety firm Securitol, believed to be a world
first. The CARDIAC Responder system is the world's most
comprehensive early defibrillation system, which features an
automatic defibrillator manufactured by Cardiac Science Inc.
(NASDAQ:DFIB), a back-to-base monitoring system incorporating data
management, medical consulting and training support by St John
Ambulance. While 1,000 people die on Australian roads each year,
heart attacks are one of the largest killers with more than 33,000
Australians dying every year in the home, public or workplace.
According to Dr Don Dingsdag of the University of Western Sydney's
Environment Management Group, and founding member of the Cardiac
Arrest Survival Foundation (CASF), the current survival rate from
sudden cardiac arrest outside a hospital is minimal.
"Defibrillation treatment in the first three minutes following
sudden cardiac arrest greatly improves someone's chance of
survival. "Organisations with systems in place and training support
to apply this treatment will experience an improvement in survival
rates," said Dr Dingsdag. Committed to creating a safe working
environment, Multiplex is believed to be the first property company
in the world to initiate the strategic placement of on-hand
automatic defibrillator systems as a precautionary mechanism in the
instance that of its 1800 employers or 17,000 subcontractors ever
experience a sudden cardiac arrest. Securitol CEO, Reno M. Aprile,
who also previously worked as a St John Ambulance volunteer, and is
a member of CASF, said Securitol is proud to have been selected by
Multiplex to create a heart-safe environment for all its employees.
"The property and construction industry is held to high standards
when it relates to safety," said Mr Aprile. "Multiplex realised it
was just as important to protect its workforce from cardiac arrest
as it was to protect them from a fire or other hazard. Once a large
corporate enterprise, or a small business for that matter,
understands the importance of having a cardiac responder system,
it's simply a smart decision to invest in deploying these
life-saving systems." Multiplex Group Manager Safety and St John
Ambulance volunteer Ken Kelman said, "When you work in the property
industry, workplace safety is paramount to achieving an injury-free
workplace, so in choosing the most reliable and simple system to
use, we're hoping to ensure our workers are provided with the best
safety resources. We are committed to continually updating and
educating our workers on the best measures to achieve this." The
CARDIAC Responder system comes with a Cardiac Science Powerheart
AED G3 Automatic defibrillator, widely recognised as the most
reliable and easy to use AED in the world. With comprehensive
daily, weekly and monthly self-testing capabilities to ensure the
presence and functionality of electrode pads and battery, this
technology assures the AED will work every time you need it. St
John Ambulance (NSW), CEO, Rhonda Bignell said, "Automated
defibrillators really are the safest and most effective way for
members of the public to save the lives of family, friends and
co-workers from sudden cardiac arrest. They are a critical tool in
the 'chain of survival' for a sudden cardiac arrest victim." The
responder systems will be installed in the following locations:
