Defibrillators near you
Living in a remote community has many upsides but there can be challenges too.
Challenges such as accessing medical assistance in the event of a health emergency such as a sudden cardiac arrest.
One of the ways we’re trying to help our teams and communities safe is by installing defibrillators at our facilities.
Some, by the very nature of our work, are required to be housed internally such as on feed barges out at sea. However, where we know there to be no community device available, we’ve made a conscious effort to install our own devices outdoors wherever possible so that the local community can access them too.
We’ve also registered these on The Circuit – the national defibrillator network which provides an overview of where defibrillators can be found across the UK – so that our defibrillators are visible to NHS ambulance services who can direct callers to their locations, in the event they prove to be the nearest.

If someone is having a cardiac arrest
If you witness someone suffering a suspected cardiac arrest, the British Heart Foundation advises the following four steps:
- Call 999
- Start CPR
The 999 emergency operator will tell you what to do or click here to learn how to perform CPR - Ask someone to bring a defibrillator if there’s one nearby
If no-one is available to get one, listen to the 999 emergency operator for further instructions. - Turn on the defibrillator
They are designed to be simple and easy to use, with clear instructions on exactly what to do.
Using a defibrillator
Don’t feel confident using a defibrillator? Watch the British Heart Foundation’s defibrillator video here.
"To help someone who is in cardiac arrest effectively, a defibrillator needs to be found as quickly as possible. For every minute it takes for the defibrillator to reach someone and deliver a shock, their chances of survival reduce." British Heart Foundation
