KMB places 10 AED kits at bus termini throughout HK
Every second counts when it comes to saving lives, which is why the KMB Co Ltd has placed 10 Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in the customer service centers located in major bus termini, including the one at Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui.
The bus company announced the latest addition to its emergency toolkit on Saturday and added it is planning to place more AEDs at suitable locations for public use when needed.
Apart from the one at Star Ferry Pier, nine others can be found in the following locations:
- Shatin Central Bus Terminus Customer Service Center
- Tuen Mun Central Bus Terminus Customer Service Center
- Tuen Mun Road Interchange (Kowloon-Bound) Customer Service Center
- Tuen Mun Road Interchange (Tuen Mun-Bound) Customer Service Center
- Lai Chi Kok Depot
- Kowloon Bay Depot
- Shatin Depot
- Tuen Mun Depot
- KMB Overhaul Centre
Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) coupled with an AED is an effective way to rescue cardiac arrest patients, KMB noted.
The AEDs provided are for immediate use by the public and are installed in specific cabinets with eye-catching signages to ensure that staff and public members can quickly access the AED in emergencies. One can efficiently operate the device by following the built-in audio prompts.
“KMB also arranges AED training for corresponding staff to help them confidently operate the AED in emergencies. To ensure the safety of staff and public members, KMB will keep looking for suitable locations to place more AEDs,” a statement read.
