Common AED Law Questions
Do I need training to use an AED?
No training is legally required to use an AED in an emergency. However, training improves response time and confidence. Most states require training only for designated workplace responders.
Am I protected from liability?
Yes. All 50 states have Good Samaritan laws protecting anyone who uses an AED in good faith during an emergency. This includes bystanders, employers, and property owners.
Does my business need an AED?
Requirements vary by state and industry. Fitness facilities, schools, and large employers often have specific mandates. Even without a legal requirement, AEDs are recommended for any facility with 50+ people or more than 5 minutes from EMS.
Do I need to register my AED?
Many states require AED registration with local EMS or state health departments. This helps emergency responders know AED locations. Check your state's specific requirements.
