AED regulations in Nevers

A hotel classed within categories 1 to 4 of French public-access buildings (ERP) has been required to have a defibrillator since 2020-2021, an obligation extended to some category 5 ERP buildings depending on their activity. Each device must be registered on GéoDAE, the French national database, which records 107 DAE units in Nevers. As the main town of the CA de Nevers, the commune concentrates the public-access establishments of the whole area, as far as La Charité-sur-Loire 23 km away or Decize 30 km away.

Installing an AED in Nevers

At reception, near the lift or at the entrance to the dining room: in a hotel in Nevers, the DAE must remain reachable in under a minute. Our technicians at 7 BIS Rue du 13E de Ligne carry out the mounting, signage and GéoDAE registration, and travel across the whole CA de Nevers and beyond, to Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire (47 km) or Bourbon-l'Archambault (46 km).

Maintenance and training in Nevers

In a Nevers hotel, the DAE must work at 3 in the morning just as reliably as during the lunchtime rush. Our preventive maintenance checks batteries, electrodes and self-tests, replacing consumables before they expire. We train receptionists and dining-room staff in life-saving skills: every minute gained before defibrillation preserves around 10% more chance of survival.
