Community Public Access Defibrillator (cPAD) Guidance

The Council will support third party provision of cPADs and consider requests for these to be installed on Council owned premises, subject to the Council premise being suitable in terms of electrical supply and building structure. The process of receiving permission will be requested via facility.services@Stockton.gov.uk.

The request should provide the following information so control around asbestos can be implemented when this occurs:

1. building information and drawing and plans of each individual install, with cable routes and intrusive work (holes drilled and route through service voids) and a description of the work taking place
2. the existing asbestos information will be assessed. From this, one of 3 outcomes will occur:

a)    if the information is sufficient and there are no asbestos issues, the work can proceed
b)    if the information is sufficient, but there are asbestos issues, work can either be replanned to avoid the ACMs or have a LARC enable the work
c)    if there is not sufficient information, an asbestos survey will be carried out. Once we have the survey back, either (a) or (b) will apply
