Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Huez

On the heights of the Oisans, 5 km from Le Bourg-d'Oisans and 10 km from Les Deux Alpes, Huez has only 1,244 permanent residents but sees its visitor numbers vary greatly with the seasons. France Défibrillateur operates on site, from 206 Av. de Brandes, providing the sale, hire, installation and maintenance of DAE units (AEDs) suited to mountain conditions, as well as staff training.

Available services:

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

AED regulations in Huez

French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to have a DAE since 2020-2021, and some category 5 ERP are also covered depending on their activity, which concerns many accommodation and catering establishments in Huez (38750). The national GéoDAE register lists 7 declared defibrillators in the commune. In an area where the emergency services must contend with the mountain road from Le Bourg-d'Oisans (5 km), every declared and locatable device genuinely counts.

Installing an AED in Huez

A DAE in Huez must remain accessible even in the depths of winter: sheltered facades, accommodation receptions, municipal buildings, and the routes between the village and the busiest areas. We choose the location with you, install the device under standardised signage and declare it on GéoDAE. Hire from €50 excl. VAT per month, maintenance included, offers a flexible option for a seasonal business.

Maintenance and training in Huez

Cold and altitude put DAE batteries under real strain. Our preventive maintenance regularly checks the devices in Huez: electrode condition, battery life, protected cabinets where needed. We also train permanent and seasonal staff in life-saving skills: with every minute lost before defibrillation, the chances of survival fall by around 10%, a delay that is all the more critical in the mountains.
