PLEASE NOTE VERY IMPORTANT!!!
On the wall as you enter the hall a defibrillator device is housed inside an enclosed, but not locked cabinet, THIS CABINET IS ONLY TO BE OPENED IN THE CASE OF RELEVANT MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. The door to the cabinet is not locked for quick access to the device in an emergency, however, when opened the warning light above will flash and a siren will sound. In an emergency, you can take the device out of the enclosed cabinet and follow the instructions as prompted by the machine. Once opened and the ON button is pressed, the instructions on using the device will be broadcast by the machine to you in a very clear and precise manner. Please note there is also an instruction card and pictograms located on and with the device.
It is important for you to note, whether the case is opened for an emergency or by accident, a Matcham Hall Committee Member must be called to switch off the siren and flashing light and the machine must be recalibrated at a cost of $150.00. This cost will be charged back to the hirer.
We hope that none of our patrons ever need to use the device but is nice to know it is there in case of an emergency.
