AED regulations in Saint-Omer

A secondary school or performance venue in Saint-Omer, classified as a French public-access building (ERP) of categories 1 to 4, has been required to hold a DAE since 2020-2021. Certain category 5 ERP buildings are also covered depending on their activity, and every device must be registered on the national GéoDAE database, which counts 82 defibrillators in the commune for 14,382 inhabitants. Decent coverage, provided every device actually works: each minute without defibrillation removes around 10% of the chances of survival.

Installing an AED in Saint-Omer

In a building open to the public in Saint-Omer, the defibrillator belongs at an obvious thoroughfare: the entrance hall, the reception area, or a façade cabinet for round-the-clock access. Our technicians at 31 Rue François Ringot handle the mounting, the regulatory signage and the GéoDAE registration. They also travel to Hazebrouck (20 km), Dunkerque (32 km) and Calais (33 km).

Maintenance and training in Saint-Omer

The DAE in a Saint-Omer school deserves a check before every new term; the one in a shop, monitoring throughout the year. Our preventive maintenance visits cover batteries, electrodes and consumables, with early replacement of items approaching their expiry date. We also train teachers, agents and employees in life-saving skills, so the first witness to a collapse knows how to use the device.
