Toronto, ON Safety Mate is a new concept in preparing for emergency preparedness the Emergency Information Device (EID).

In an emergency, time is the enemy and Safety Mate will buy time until professional help arrives.

This electronic device provides an untrained attendant (to an injured person) with verbal instructions as to what must be done immediately. Even those who have taken first aid courses will benefit from using Safety Mate because it will refresh the memory skills and help to reduce the panic that is present during an emergency, often preventing potential life saving action.

Easy-to-understand life-saving verbal instructions include:
Amputation**
Asthma*
Bites & Stings
Bleeding
Burns
Chest Pain**
Choking
Convulsions
Electric Shock
Eye Injury
Fractures
Head, Spine & Neck
Poison*
Unresponsive/CPR
Homeland Security**

This is a reliable, life-saving device that provides comprehensive, audible and interactive communication with an attendant (responds with a verbal communication when you press a button).

It is educational and a refresher for individuals who have taken courses for First Aid or CPR. There are two models available; SM352 and SM 303.
*SM352 model only (Industrial)
**SM303 model only (Schools & Daycare Centers)
