Poste Italiane installs 800 defibrillators across Italy to improve cardiac safety

Poste Italiane installed 800 defibrillators across 242 locations throughout Italy as part of a private sector first aid plan.

The company equipped these sites with semi-automatic devices that provide remote monitoring and voice instructions to guide people who lack medical expertise during a cardiac emergency. The company integrated these devices into its safety and prevention strategy to protect employees.

These machines will also be registered with the 118 emergency dispatch centers to strengthen the regional network of life-saving equipment available to the public. Poste Italiane also launched a training program to support the new equipment. The company is training approximately 9,500 employees for emergency teams and providing informative sessions for about 35,000 other staff members.
