AED regulations in Toucy

Seven defibrillators are registered on the national GéoDAE database in Toucy. Since 2020-2021, French law has required a DAE in French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4, and in certain category 5 ERP depending on their activity, with mandatory registration on GéoDAE. In a rural commune in the 89130 area, every registered device counts double: it strengthens a limited network and gives bystanders a chance to act before the emergency services arrive.

Installing an AED in Toucy

For a defibrillator to be of any use, it must be seen and reached quickly. In Toucy, we work with you to determine the most effective location: an establishment entrance, an accessible façade, a busy spot in the town centre. Installation includes mounting, regulatory signage and registration on GéoDAE. Hire from 50 € excl. VAT per month with maintenance included allows small organisations in the 89130 area to equip themselves without a heavy investment.

Maintenance and training in Toucy

Far from major centres, a faulty DAE is often noticed too late. Our preventive maintenance schedules regular inspections of devices in Toucy and across the CC de Puisaye-Forterre: battery, electrodes, self-tests and replacement of consumables. Our life-saving skills training, delivered on site, prepares your teams to act during those minutes when every action improves the chances of survival.
