   
Is my business required to have an AED?
If you run a health club, or if you own an establishment of 50,000 square feet where 50 people pass through on an average workday, you are required under Senate Bill 1033 to have an AED.
Should I consider purchasing an AED even if I’m not required to?
Cardiac arrest leads cancer, stroke, and car accidents as the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. [CDC]

While sudden cardiac arrest survival rates are typically 10% in the Portland area , the chances of survival in your workplace could be as high as 70% with a well implemented AED program in place. [Web MD]
