AED regulations in Gignac

In Gignac, 12 defibrillators are registered on the national GéoDAE database. French regulations have required a DAE in public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 since 2020-2021, as well as in some category 5 ERP depending on their activity, with mandatory registration on GéoDAE. This obligation is no mere administrative formality: it exists so that a device is always within reach when every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%. We can help you establish where your premises stand within this framework.

Installing an AED in Gignac

The right location for a DAE in Gignac is chosen with the victim in mind: permanent access, visibility and proximity to busy areas. Our technicians install the device, fit the standardised signage and register it on GéoDAE. Based on chemin de l'Ecosite, they cover the Hérault valley and travel as far as Saint-Jean-de-Védas (26 km), Bédarieux (31 km) and Vendargues (33 km).

Maintenance and training in Gignac

Between emergencies, a DAE must stay ready, summer and winter alike, including in the Hérault climate, which puts batteries to the test. Our preventive maintenance covers electrodes, battery and self-tests, with rental from 50 € excl. VAT per month, servicing included. We also train your staff in life-saving skills: recognising cardiac arrest, calling for help, performing CPR and defibrillating, without hesitation.
