AB 365: The Justin Kropp Safety Act: electrical utilities: AED availability at worksites.

The bill requires electrical utilities to have an automated external defibrillator (aed) available at every worksite where two or more workers are performing work on transmission or distribution lines of 601 volts or more. This is to ensure the health and safety of employees. Utilities and contractors must adopt written policies and procedures for aed placement, notification, maintenance, testing, inspection, and recordkeeping. A person who uses an aed in good faith and not for compensation is exempt from civil liability for any acts or omissions. The bill also applies this exemption to utilities and contractors that acquire an aed for emergency use and comply with the requirements. The exemption does not apply in cases of gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct.
