First Aid Facilities

In light of the BOMBA requirement, Q Sentral has established an Emergency Response Team (ERT), which among others, included First Aiders that would respond to medical emergencies in the building. As part of the ERT’s directive, Q Sentral Management has prepared an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), First Aid Kits, a First Aid Room, and various emergency equipment to be utilized during emergencies.

Over the years, the ERT/First Aider has attended multiple emergency cases with minor injuries.

AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED)
An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It’s a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

This life-saving equipment can be found at Level G and Level 12.

HOW TO USE AN AED
Check unresponsiveness. Determine that the patient is both unresponsive and not breathing.
Call the emergency service (999), and retrieve the AED.
Open the AED lid, and follow the voice instructions.

FIRST AID ROOM – LEVEL 12
Equipped with a stretcher, wheelchair, first aid box, and a spinal board. Occupants are to inform the First Aider or Auxiliary Police before utilizing the facilities.
