Have you considered a defibrillator?
Providing an automated external defibrillator can reduce the risk of fatality from cardiac arrest. It is a useful addition for workplaces where there is a risk of electrocution or where there are large numbers of members of the public.Source: FIRST AID IN THE WORKPLACE Code of Practice March 2015, SafeWork Australia

Need a first aid room?
A first aid room should be established at the workplace if a risk assessment indicates that it would be difficult to administer appropriate first aid unless a first aid room is provided. A first aid room is recommended for:
- Low risk workplaces with 200 workers or more
- High risk workplaces with 100 workers or more
