Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Beauvais

It is hard to imagine a concert venue in Beauvais hosting a thousand people without a defibrillator. In a city of 55,550 residents, the same scenario recurs: shopping centres, public administrations, schools. France Défibrillateur advises and equips these organisations from its centre at 54 Rue de Tilloy (60000 Beauvais), covering sales, hire, installation, maintenance and training.

Available services:

• Defibrillator sales and rental
• Installation and commissioning
• Preventive and corrective maintenance
• Usage training (Workplace First Aid)

AED regulations in Beauvais

A Beauvais establishment classified in categories 1 to 4 of French public-access buildings (ERP), such as a large venue or a shopping centre, has been required to hold a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021. Category 5 ERP establishments may also be affected, depending on their activity. Every device must be registered on the national GéoDAE database, which lists 189 defibrillators in Beauvais. Relative to the population and the city's role within the CA du Beauvaisis, this network still has room to grow.

Installing an AED in Beauvais

In a large building, the DAE's location should be chosen so that no point in the building is more than a few minutes away: every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%. Lobby, security control room, main entrance: France Défibrillateur assesses the layout, fits the device with its signage and completes the GéoDAE registration. The team also operates towards Gournay-en-Bray (27 km) and Gisors (30 km).

Maintenance and training in Beauvais

For a venue operator or the manager of a site open to the public, DAE maintenance is part of the routine periodic checks, just like fire extinguisher servicing. France Défibrillateur carries out preventive inspections, replaces consumables and trains front-of-house and security staff in life-saving skills, in Beauvais and as far as Saint-Just-en-Chaussée and Breteuil (25 km).
