Pedeo Hogedrukgieterij is a 100% supplier of high-pressure die castings. With a creative full-service approach, the company efficiently transforms customer ideas into concrete, tailor-made solutions. Around 60 employees work at Pedeo daily, divided between the office and production. Production operates on a 3-shift system; a dynamic environment where safety and continuity are essential.

Conscious choice for extra safety

A few years ago, the organization had a growing need to purchase an AED. With a workforce that includes a relatively large number of employees from an older demographic, awareness around health and safety in the workplace increased. “We simply wanted to have things properly arranged,” was the thinking.

After requesting multiple quotes, the choice fell to AED-Partner. In addition to an attractive price-quality ratio, the feeling about the service was the deciding factor. The personal approach and clear explanation inspired confidence. The ease of use of the AED also played an important role in the decision-making process.

A reliable solution: the Cardiac Science G5

We opted for the Cardiac Science G5, an AED in the upper mid-range. An important criterion was the Dutch-language support this device offers during a resuscitation deployment. In an emergency, every second counts, and clear, understandable guidance is of great importance.

For the first aid staff, who undergo regular retraining, it was also essential that the AED be intuitive and easy to operate. The AED has been placed centrally by the door between the office and production. This makes the device clearly visible and quickly accessible to everyone.

Certainty with a service subscription

During delivery, Pedeo received a clear operational demonstration. Additionally, the company opted for an all-in service subscription. “If necessary, we must be able to rely on the AED working,” according to Pedeo. This certainty is guaranteed by the service and periodic inspection via AED-Partner.

Satisfied employees, peace of mind

The investment in an AED is widely supported within Pedeo. Employees are satisfied that the company is consciously choosing a life-saving device in the workplace. It provides peace of mind knowing that, should it ever be necessary, the right provisions are in place.

For Pedeo, safety is not an afterthought, but an inherent part of good employer practices.
