My point is that nobody should opt not to use a AED because they haven’t been trained. They don’t require training to use them.

Yes, I’m familiar with safety requirements at companies. I completed over 75 safety training courses last year and am thoroughly tired of repeating the same training over and over.

I just don’t want anyone to think “I can’t use the AED because I don’t know how”, or to think they their for the use of EMTs and they should wait for the EMT to show up and use them. Waiting 2-3 minutes could be too long.

AEDS are designed to be used by untrained operators at a moments notice.
