Local packaging company provides defibrillators for three towns
Chesterfield’s Robinson Packaging Company is providing three local towns with brand new defibrillators for use by both the ambulance service and the general public.
Installed at the company’s factories in Kirkby, Stanton and Chesterfield as part of increasing investment in health and safety for the business, Managing Director Steve Haley decided to fit them outside the buildings so the general public can also use them.
Steve said: “We listened to our staff suggestions and are delighted to be able to offer these valuable lifesaving defibrillators to our local towns – we work closely with our communities and it is great to be able to invest in the safety of our employees both at work and in the towns where they live.”
Bought from St John Ambulance, the defibrillators are registered on The Circuit website, in conjunction with the local East Midlands Ambulance service.
Local paramedics have full access to these units as the locations and access codes are supplied automatically into their system. The local public also have access through calling 999/112 and requesting the unit opening code.
All Robinson’s staff members can access these units and first aiders will be given instructions and training on using the defibrillator.
