Talk to Me About Compliance — Understanding AED Laws, Health Canada Licensing, and Workplace Readiness

By AED4Life — Canada’s AED Authority

Let’s make compliance simple.
You don’t need to know every provincial safety regulation — that’s what AED4Life is here for.

Whether you manage a construction company in Alberta, a recreation facility in Ontario, or a school district in British Columbia, we’ll help you meet Canada’s AED standards and Health Canada licensing requirements with complete confidence.

Because being prepared shouldn’t be complicated — it should be part of how you do business.

 AED Regulations Are Expanding Across Canada

Across Canada, governments and workplaces are recognizing that Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is one of the most time-critical emergencies imaginable.

New and emerging workplace safety standards now encourage or require Health Canada-approved AEDs in:

• Construction and industrial worksites

• Municipal facilities and schools

• Sports complexes, community centres, and offices

From British Columbia’s community AED initiatives to national safety frameworks supported by the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, the message is clear: every Canadian workplace should have an AED that’s accessible, maintained, and legally compliant.

💡 In cardiac arrest, every minute without defibrillation reduces survival by 7–10 % (Heart & Stroke Foundation).

Why Health Canada Licensing Matters

Not all AEDs sold online are legal for use in Canada. Only Health Canada-approved devices meet national standards for performance, bilingual labelling, and electrical safety.

When you buy from AED4Life, you’re guaranteed:

• ✅ Compliance under the Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL) program.

• ✅ Bilingual English/French packaging and instructions.

• ✅ Manufacturer warranty and parts availability through Canadian channels.

• ✅ Eligibility for government or insurance reimbursement programs.

All AED4Life devices — including ZOLL AED 3, ZOLL AED Plus, Philips OnSite, and Powerheart G5 — are fully licensed by Health Canada and backed by authorized Canadian service networks.

💬 If an AED doesn’t list a Health Canada device licence, it isn’t legally approved for Canadian workplaces.
