AED regulations in Megève

Megève has 47 defibrillators registered on the French national GéoDAE database, a high figure relative to its 2,893 residents and consistent with its density of public-access establishments. The rule applies here as everywhere else: since 2020-2021, French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 must be equipped with a DAE, certain category 5 establishments as well depending on their activity, and every device must be registered on GéoDAE so the emergency services can locate it.

Installing an AED in Megève

Installing a DAE in Megève means thinking about real footfall: the snow front, the sports centre, hotels and the shopping streets of the 74120 area. Our teams determine the location, mount the device with signage visible even to a passing visitor, and register it on GéoDAE. Purchase or rental from 50 € excl. VAT per month including maintenance: a formula suited to the seasonal businesses of the Pays du Mont-Blanc.

Maintenance and training in Megève

At altitude, the cold and intensive seasonal use call for rigorous DAE monitoring: batteries, electrodes, heated cabinets and self-tests. Our technicians carry out preventive maintenance on Megève's fleet and also work in Sallanches (8 km) and Flumet (9 km). We train hoteliers, restaurateurs and front-of-house staff in life-saving skills, so that the first minute of a cardiac arrest is never wasted.
