Section 527.800  Training

a)         Physical fitness facility staff shall be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of an AED according to Sections 525.300 and 525.400 of the Automated External Defibrillator Code when the facility has an AED according to the compliance dates of the Act.  The facility must have at least one trained AED user on staff at all times, and also must ensure that appropriate numbers of facility staff and applicable supervisors are trained to avoid lapses in compliance with this Code.

b)         Each member of the facility staff shall be trained on  the location of the AED and the requirements of the facility's medical emergency plan.  Third party operators and authorized users of the facility shall also be informed, by postings or other notifications, of the AED and the emergency plan. 

c)         The facility staff shall take reasonable measures to ensure that the AED is operated only by trained AED users for the intended purposes of the AED.  This provision should not be construed to prohibit, however, the use of the AED by others in the event of a medical emergency requiring the use of the AED.
