ACSA denies lack of medical safety measures at King Shaka after death

Breaking local news in Ballito Dolphin Coast

Airports Company South Africa has denied having inadequate medical safety measures after a death at King Shaka International Airport on September 14.

ACSA admitted that the AEDs - which are designed to be used during cardiac episodes - were not working and that they were trying to source new models at the time of the death. They said new models had since been installed on September 22. 'Despite this, we are always open to improvements and are conducting a risk assessment to review and consider other matters such as the optimal location of personnel during peak periods and quicker deployment of privacy screens.'

'In addition to the onsite paramedics, the airport staff members undergo first aiders training,' said ACSA.
