AED for municipalities

A heart-safe community for everyone

A cardiac arrest can happen anytime and anywhere: at home, in the park, or on the street. As a municipality, you play a crucial role in facilitating public cardiac safety. By ensuring a comprehensive and well-maintained network of AEDs, you give bystanders the opportunity to quickly come to the rescue. And that saves lives!

Which AED is suitable for municipalities?

Public AEDs are often used by untrained rescuers. Due to the stress of an emergency, these bystanders often experience ‘pressure doubt’. And yet every second counts! That is why we advise municipalities to opt for a fully automatic AED. This type of AED delivers a shock itself, leaving no room for doubt. And that benefits the chances of survival! With our AED Choice Assistant, you can quickly and free of charge discover which AED suits your situation:

In short: AEDs for municipalities

  • Part of a modern security policy.
  • Expanding the AED network increases the chance of survival.
  • Strategic placement in outdoor cabinets for quick access.
  • Strengthen the role of citizen responders in your region.
  • Relief from installation, monitoring, and maintenance.

Why are AEDs important for municipalities?

Quick assistance during cardiac arrest increases the chance of survival. Unfortunately, the ambulance cannot be everywhere within six minutes. A comprehensive AED network in municipalities bridges this critical time. By investing in AEDs and their maintenance as a municipality, you support the local care chain and create a heart-safe living environment.

Is an AED mandatory for a municipality?

There is no specific law in the Benelux that obliges municipalities to install AEDs. However, due to their general duty of care and local health policies, more and more municipalities are choosing to take a proactive role. As a result, AEDs are becoming a fundamental part of basic citizen safety provisions, just like good street lighting.

Where do you place an AED in the municipality?

An AED should be within everyone's reach, ideally within a radius of 500 meters. This way, you can retrieve and deploy an AED within 6 minutes. Logical locations include community centers, parks, schools, and shopping centers. By placing the AED in a heated outdoor cabinet, the device remains usable in all weather conditions.

Installation and maintenance entirely out of your hands

Placing an AED is step one, but operational readiness is the most important. Maintenance is therefore vital. AED-Partner can take care of both the installation and the management and maintenance. This includes the timely replacement of batteries and electrodes and prompt maintenance after use. We can also assist you with registering all AEDs with the 'FOD Volksgezondheid'. (only applicable in Belgium).

Our Customers' Experiences

“At the Hoge Veluwe National Park Foundation, we consider the safety of our visitors very important. We want an AED to be available wherever the public can access. This is quite a challenge in a park of 5,400 hectares. That's why we've had 6 additional AEDs installed at our outdoor facilities.”
Gerard van Voorst
Chief Emergency Officer at National Park De Hoge Veluwe
“When my contact at AED-Partner heard my story, she immediately offered to help Stichting Hartveilig Uden. Fantastic! AED-Partner checked the AEDs completely free of charge and replaced parts free of charge where necessary. A gesture that was received incredibly positively by the foundation. We have found our AED partner!”

Chairman of the Uden Hartveilig Foundation
