In Oklahoma, AED programs are mandated to adhere to AED placement reporting requirements. Under the Good Samaritan law, all individuals involved in AED-related activities receive protection, ensuring immunity from liability. However, this protection is limited solely to AED-related actions, excluding other activities within AED programs. As part of safety measures, Oklahoma also stipulates the placement of AEDs in schools to ensure readiness for potential emergencies.
Oklahoma Law Key Takeaways
- Good Samaritan Protection: Individuals, entities, CPR/AED trainers, and prescribing physicians are shielded from civil liability when using AEDs, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
- EMS Notification: AED possessors are obligated to inform EMS of the AED's location.
- Schools: Public schools must possess an AED when budget allows. High school students in public schools must undergo CPR/AED training before graduation.
AED's save lives every day and you can make a difference! Besides the states requirements, we believe AED's should be readily available everywhere, within arms reach in case of an emergency.
