The Defibrillator does not necessarly need to be locked away however - it does need to be put in a safe area. Not all defibs are as user friendly as the one that Andrew Walker, has although they are all user friendly in their own way. However stored with them will be a safe razor to shave any hair. Also close by should be a towel to ensure that the casualty could be dry. There are also the pads for the casualty's chest and the workplace needs to ensure that this is not for public use. I believe the ones on the underground are clearly signed and also within small cases like a fire alarm that have to be broken in an emergency. Anything is open to abuse!!!! That is why all first aid kits only have a minium amount of bandages and that they need to be checked so that nobody goes to them and finds them empty!!
