AED regulations in Firminy

Since 2020-2021, every French public-access building (ERP) in categories 1 to 4 must be equipped with a defibrillator, and certain category 5 ERPs are also covered depending on their activity. In Firminy, the GéoDAE database lists 21 registered devices for 17 060 residents: every new unit must be registered there by law. One figure underpins this obligation: every minute that passes without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10 %. We handle full regulatory compliance, including the GéoDAE registration.

Installing an AED in Firminy

The right location is measured in seconds of access time: an entrance hall, a reception area, a busy thoroughfare that is visible and accessible at all times. In Firminy, our technicians carry out the complete installation, mounting the cabinet, fitting standard-compliant signage and registering the device on the GéoDAE database, where the commune already has 21 units. With our centre right in the heart of the 42700 area, response times are short, including for sites towards Roche-la-Molière or Saint-Étienne.
