ESS recommends an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) inspection on a monthly basis, to make sure that it is ready for use, when you really need it.
Our knowledgeable representatives will perform a 13-point AED inspection that verifies the unit is working properly and batteries and electrodes are intact and not expired.
A few points that this service will include:
- Inspection of the unit. Free from damage from excessive wear or corrosion and that there are no cracks or loose parts.
- Turn unit on and off making sure it is ready for use at the time of inspection.
- Leave a hard copy of the inspection service with the customer.
- Giving you peace of mind.
We offer regular maintenance inspections monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or as frequently as desired. Please contact our office for more information and how we can help your business.

Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations specify that the employer shall:
- inspect every first aid station regularly (at least quarterly), and
- ensure that contents are maintained in a clean, dry and serviceable condition.
