TP Matrix puts safety first as it purchases ‘community’ defibrillator

TP Matrix has demonstrated its commitment to safety by buying a defibrillator.

Available to neighbouring businesses in Oldham, as well as the local community, the automatic device is designed so that anyone can use it in an emergency.

TP Matrix’s three first aiders recommended the purchase after attending a refresher course.

“Fewer than one in ten people in the UK survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest,” explained Samantha Gale, first aider and buyer.

“However, by having a defibrillator in the workplace and training colleagues in CPR, businesses can play an important part in helping more people survive.

“We’ve registered the new unit with the North West Ambulance Trust and have notified our neighbours on the industrial estate that we have one if they ever need it.”
