AED regulations in Cours

A village hall, sports hall or school in Cours falls under the French classification of public-access buildings (ERP): categories 1 to 4 have been required to hold a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021, and certain category 5 establishments are also covered depending on their activity. Each device must then be registered on GéoDAE, the French national database, which currently lists 12 defibrillators in the commune. We check your establishment's category with you and handle the registration from start to finish.

Installing an AED in Cours

For a village hall, the right location is a visible wall near the main entrance, with an outdoor cabinet if access needs to remain possible outside opening hours. Our technicians work in Cours and the surrounding communes, from Thizy-les-Bourgs (8 km) to Roanne (18 km): mounting, standardised signage and GéoDAE registration. Rental from 50 € excl. VAT per month, maintenance included, avoids the upfront investment.

Maintenance and training in Cours

A DAE installed in a municipal hall is of no use if its battery is flat on the night of the concert. Our preventive maintenance covers batteries, electrode pads and regular checks across your equipment, in Cours and throughout the rest of the Ouest Rhodanien area. We also train municipal staff and community volunteers in life-saving techniques, because every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.
