may correlate with the presence or lack
of an AED program. Finally, OSHA
plans to supplement the statistical
survey with extended case study
interviews with selected respondents
from the statistical survey. These
interviews will provide in-depth, albeit
qualitative, information about various
factors that influence decisions on
whether to implement AED programs, as
well as about the circumstances that
underlie the cost and effectiveness of
such programs.
OSHA has conducted a thorough
search and review of existing studies
and other literature about AED use.
Only limited information is available
about AED use in occupational settings,
although substantial literature exists
addressing AED use in public settings.
In addition, OSHA found little direct
evidence about AED cost-effectiveness
in the workplace. Collection of
information sought by OSHA from
establishments concerning the use of
automatic external defibrillators in
occupational settings will include:
1. Profile information, including
industry, type of operation, number of
employees, age distribution of
employees, presence of safety or health
professionals on staff, and experience
with sudden cardiac events.
2. Characteristics of AED programs in
place, including number of units,
number of employees trained, type and
frequency of training, and percentage of
workforce protected by AEDs.
3. Factors influencing decisions
whether to invest in AED equipment or
implement an AED program, including
experience with sudden cardiac events,
role of marketing by AED
manufacturers, costs of AED equipment,
costs of training, cost of maintenance,
and liability concerns.
4. Frequency of use of AED units and
their effectiveness in cases of employee
heart attacks or other sudden cardiac
events.
5. In-depth interviews on issues
identified with respect to Topics 2, 3,
and 4 will be conducted during postsurvey case study interviews.
OHSA plans to use this information,
first, to identify the occupational
settings in which AEDs are most costeffective. Second, OSHA will use the
survey results to identify barriers to
expanding AED use and to help design
effective outreach programs to
encourage establishments to install AED
equipment. Without this survey, OSHA
will lack information about the current
prevalence of AED programs in
occupational settings. The Agency will
also lack information on the
characteristics of establishments with
and without AED programs and about

the factors that have influenced
establishments’ decisions whether to
implement AED programs. Without this
knowledge, OSHA will have difficulty
determining the efficacy of different
strategies that might be used to
encourage the implementation of
workplace AED programs such as
developing outreach and promotion
programs.
The proposed collection of
information consists of a two-stage
statistical survey of at least 1,000
establishments in OSHA-regulated
industries that have 100 or more
employees. In the first stage, OSHA will
survey establishments from the universe
population to gather baseline profile
information and to screen for
establishments that either (1) have an
AED program in place, or (2) have
considered implementing an AED
program but have not done so. In the
second stage, screened respondents will
be asked questions specific to which
group their establishment belongs (i.e.,
currently has an AED program or
considered but has not implemented
such a program).
As an adjunct to the statistical survey,
OSHA plans to conduct as many as 36
in-depth case study interviews with
selected volunteers among respondents
in both the groups that do and do not
have AED programs. These open-ended
interviews will permit OSHA to gather
detailed qualitative information about
key issues pertaining to the
implementation, cost, and effectiveness
of AED programs and factors deterring
implementation of such programs.
