Crash repairer AMA Group is partnering with not-for-profit foundation Defib for Life to install defibrillators at all 172 of its sites over the next two months.

The devices will be listed on national registers so anyone witnessing a cardiac arrest nearby can also locate the site online.

“There is nothing more important to us than the safety of our people and the communities in which we work,” Group CEO Carl Bizon said. “While we hope these will never be needed, I am pleased that we have made this investment, should their use ever be required.”

AMA has also purchased seven additional defibrillators from Defib for Life to donate to local sporting clubs.

“Like fire extinguishers, smoke detectors and first aid kits, defibrillators are becoming a vital part of any workplace’s emergency response plan,” Defib for Life founder and former paramedic Andrew White says.
