I work at a DoD lab of about 4,000 people. It's in a fenced enclave with limited access. We have 1 nurse who has an AED. In my building alone of about 200 people I know 3 people with existing heart conditions. I've asked to have an AED placed in the lobby. The installation actually has an AED program that basically says "we'll put them where they are needed" but the official answer I got was "your building doesn't need one because emergency response is considered adequate". And that is the case with every other building on the campus. There are no other AEDs besides the nurses.
The unofficial answer I got was that they won't place AEDs due to "liability"
I'm pretty sure I've seen many current and former military folks here. My question is have you seen public AEDs in foyers or lobbies of any buildings on military bases? I'm trying to find some sort of prescedent.
I thought we had gotten past the whole issue of AEDs and liability but I guess not.
