AED regulations in Béthune

The 62400 area has 95 defibrillators registered on GéoDAE, a solid base that French regulations continue to build on: since 2020-2021, public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 must be equipped with a DAE, and certain category 5 ERP must be too, depending on their activity. Registration of every device on the national GéoDAE database is mandatory. We support establishments across the CA de Béthune-Bruay, Artois-Lys Romane through this process, from initial audit to commissioning.

Installing an AED in Béthune

Around the belfry, in retail parks or on the industrial sites of the wider urban area, installing a DAE in Béthune follows the same public-health logic: shortening the distance between the victim and the device. We choose the location with you, fit the regulatory signage and register the DAE on GéoDAE. We also cover Lens (16 km), Hazebrouck (22 km) and Arras (27 km).

Maintenance and training in Béthune

Every minute without defibrillation costs around 10% of survival chances: a faulty device wipes out the entire benefit of being equipped. In Béthune, our technicians carry out preventive maintenance on DAE units, replace electrodes and batteries and check the self-tests. Our life-saving skills courses prepare your teams to recognise cardiac arrest, perform CPR and use the device without losing time.
