A Safe Company is Everybody's Business

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) — or massive heart attack — as it is sometimes known, kills approximately 365,000 people in the U.S. each year and can strike anyone.

Even a seemingly healthy person can suffer cardiac arrest without warning. According to OSHA, nearly 15% of all workplace fatalities reported to OSHA in recent years are attributable to sudden cardiac arrest.

The only definitive treatment for SCA is a defibrillation shock — an electrical pulse through the heart — which restores a normal heart rhythm. The chance of an SCA victim's survival decreases by 10 percent for every minute that passes. In order to be effective, defibrillation treatment must be administered within the first few minutes of SCA.
