Know Where TCL’s Defibrillators Are!

Did you know TCL campuses have potentially lifesaving defibrillators?

It’s true and the college’s Safety Team would like to make sure all TCL employees know where those are in the event of an emergency.

But first, what is a defibrillator and why would you need one?

What is a defibrillator?

Defibrillators are devices that are used to apply an electric charge or current to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat.

If a person is suffering from a heart attack, a defibrillator may help restore a normal heart rhythm. A heart attack can be fatal unless treated right away with CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and a defibrillator.

Many TCL employees have already taken the college’s CPR class, hosted by Human Resources, and learned the importance of calling 911 and knowing where TCL’s defibrillators are. (You may be asked or volunteer to retrieve the device while someone who has been trained in CPR starts the procedure.)

Where are they located?

TCL has what is known as Automated External Defibrillators or AEDs, which are often found in public spaces. Once activated, the unit tells the operator what to do using recorded voice commands.

TCL’s AEDs are located on the walls in the following locations:

Beaufort Campus

Coleman Hall (Bldg. 2), 1^st floor, on the left just inside the entrance

MacLean Hall (Bldg. 12), 1^st floor lobby, next to the elevator

Culinary Institute of the South

1^st floor, on the right inside the entrance near the stairs

Hampton Campus

Inside the first hallway, on the left

New River

1^st floor lobby, near the restrooms
