In Italy, corporate entities are implementing large-scale cardioprotection and workplace safety initiatives through the deployment of automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

In Trieste, the Edil Group launched the ‘Health&Care’ project via its subsidiary Edilimpianti, placing six AEDs across company facilities and integrating them into the local 118 emergency medical network to serve both employees and the public.

Poste Italiane has significantly expanded its national ‘La Sicurezza ci sta a Cuore’ initiative, which aims to install 800 next-generation semi-automatic defibrillators across 242 locations. These devices feature remote monitoring and voice instructions to assist untrained rescuers, and are registered with 118 emergency operation centers. The program is supported by Basic Life Support and Defibrillation (BLSD) training for approximately 9,500 emergency personnel and over 35,000 employees.

Recent expansions include the installation of 11 AEDs across seven Sicilian provinces: Palermo, Catania, Messina, Caltanissetta, Ragusa, Siracusa, and Agrigento. In Tuscany, the company has installed 16 units. For its efforts in strengthening the emergency-urgency chain and contributing to territorial cardioprotection, Poste Italiane was honored with the ‘BLSD Angels’ regional award from the association Siena Cuore ODV during the ninth edition of ‘Progetto Vita’.
