Aquatics is organized chaos at best and can be like learning a new language for Recreation Directors who inherit an Aquatic Facility. The rules that govern Aquatic facility's include: Government Standards & Regulations, Lifesaving Society's Safety Standards and Employer Standard Operating procedures. This section will include the links for Government Standards & Regulations and Lifesaving Society's Safety Standards
Lifesaving Society Canada has a Safety Standards Commission that sets National Safety Standards. These standards are based off of coroners'’ recommendations, evidence-based research and industry best practices. They do not replace or supersede local, provincial/territorial or federal legislation or regulations, but are considered the standard to which aquatic professionals should strive towards to minimize risk and ensure facilities are as safe as possible. They are also an excellent resource for manager’s when creating facility standard operating procedures (SOP’s)
Have you reviewed your Policy & Procedures lately? What resources were consulted in creating them? Is it time for an update?
