Mikey AEDs soon to be on the job in Ontario
AI Article Summary

The Ontario government is proposing legislation that would require Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) on construction sites. This initiative aims to make workplaces safer for construction workers, building on previous legislation requiring naloxone kits in at-risk workplaces. The requirement targets projects expected to last at least three months with 20 or more workers. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) may provide financial support for the cost of AEDs.
