AED regulations in Nîmes

Performance venues, museums, shops: French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to be equipped with a defibrillator since 2020-2021, and some category 5 ERP buildings are covered depending on their activity. GéoDAE, the French national database on which every registration is mandatory, lists 276 DAE units in Nîmes. For a commune of 151,839 residents that hosts major public events, expanding the fleet remains a very practical challenge.

Installing an AED in Nîmes

In an events venue in Nîmes, the DAE is installed near the ticket check or the first-aid post, with signage visible from the circulation areas. Our technicians at 221 Rue Louis Lumière manage the mounting, signposting and GéoDAE registration. They cover the whole of Nîmes Métropole and nearby communes: Vergèze 10 km away, Saint-Gilles 19 km away, Uzès and Lunel 22 km away.

Maintenance and training in Nîmes

A DAE in a theatre foyer may sit unused for months, then need to work instantly in front of a full house. Our preventive maintenance visits check the self-tests, batteries and electrodes of the entire Nîmes fleet. We also train security staff, ushers and front-of-house teams in life-saving skills: every minute without a shock reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.
