An automated external defibrillator (AED), is a portable machine that allows even those with no medical knowledge to help save a life. Designed to be utilised when a hearts natural rhythm has been affected, the machine is able to read a heartbeat and provide an electric shock only when it is needed. If you are looking for an AED that can be utilised easily by a non-professional that you need to choose Zoll.
Zoll is a professional medical company that is focused on producing the highest quality equipment that advances medical care and helps save lives. One of their most praised and popular products is their Zoll AED Plus, which is an AED like no other.
Designed for those with no medical knowledge in mind, the Zoll AED Plus is the only AED that provides real CPR help. As CPR can be an important procedure when fibrillation occurs, this function sets the Zoll Plus apart from its competitors. Real-time feedback of CPR analyses both depth and rate of chest compressions and relays if the user needs to push harder, faster or is doing both correctly.
Other functions of this specialist AED include clear voice prompts and visual instructions that help guide the user through each stage of the resuscitation, and an adopted child protocol which allows CPR and stocks to be provided safely to younger patients.
The excellent features of the Zoll Plus AED don't stop there! The AED is encased with a strong and sturdy outer shell, which allows both the batteries and electrodes to be protected from water and dirt and have a 5-year life-span. Being lightweight and durable allows these AEDs to withstand any public environment that they are kept in.
The combination of innovative technology, real-life feedback and durability have led to the Zoll AED Plus being recommended by the British heart foundation and being trusted by medical practitioners and specialists throughout the UK.

The Different Types of Fire Extinguishers
Once a fire has started, it only takes a few minutes before the blaze grows and becomes a threat to life. To ensure that businesses and public buildings are able to help put out a fire before it causes any damage, rules and regulations regarding fire extinguishers are put in place.
They may not look like much, but the correct fire extinguishers can pack a punch and remove the risk of a fire before anyone gets hurt. As all buildings and businesses are different, they will not all be required to provide the same style of fire extinguishers.

Depending on what equipment or chemicals are within a space, affects the type of fire that is most likely to start and in turn, the type of extinguisher you will be required to have inside your business.

Would you utilise a water-based extinguisher on an electric fire? To make sure you are clear on when a type of extinguisher should be utilised, you first need to understand the different classes of fires.
C02 Fire Extinguisher
C02 extinguishers are suitable for fires involving flammable liquids and electrical hazards and are colour coded with a black label. This makes these extinguishers most popular in offices or workshops, as the carbon dioxide that is used is harmless to electrical equipment.

Powder Fire Extinguisher
In addition to being able to put out fires that have started from electrical hazards, flammable liquids and gasses and general wood/paper fires, a powder fire extinguisher is also effective on vehicle fires. Colour coded with a blue label these extinguishers stop fires by smothering them.

Foam Fire Extinguisher
Foam fire extinguishers provide a flame smothering seal to prevent re-ignition of a fire, which is why they work best on fires involving solids and flammable liquid. You can spot this style of extinguisher thanks to their cream label.

Water Fire Extinguisher
With their red label, water fire extinguishers are best used for A-class fires, which involves wood, cloth, plastic, paper and other organic solid materials. This makes them one of the most popular types for offices.
