OES Installs AED at Clemson Centre

In order to enhance safety for Clemson employees and local businesses at Clemson Centre, OES has installed an AED near the first floor elevator.  

Chris Weber, Chemical and Laboratory Safety Manager has conducted four training sessions in the last two weeks to certify Clemson employees operating from Clemson Centre in CPR and AED use (American Red Cross certification).  32 individuals attended these sessions and successfully completed the course requirements.  These individuals represented several Clemson organizations including OES, Business Intelligence, Office of the Board of Trustees, Research Compliance, Procurement and Business Services, Office of Internal Auditing, and Risk Services and Insurance.  2 individuals representing a private business at Clemson Centre also attended these sessions. All attendees were instructed on the location, features, and operation of the recently purchased and installed AED at Clemson Centre.
