Aquatic Safety Inspection – Pilot

by Todd Reade

On November 24 and 25, 2009 I attending the Lifesaving Society Alberta Pilot for the Aquatic Safety Inspector

Certified Aquatic Safety Inspectors have undergone extensive training to familiarize themselves with the safe operating standards of aquatic facilities.

Inspection Checklist
Aquatic Safety Inspectors use a detailed Lifesaving Society-designed checklist to assess the facility. Inspectors classify checklist items found to be below standard as either “priority “ or “secondary” concerns.

Inspection Protocol
A full inspection involves an exhaustive process including a full inspection of the facility. For a complete inspection, access must be provided to the:

  • Entrance way
  • Public and staff change rooms
  • Deck
  • Pool office
  • Equipment room
  • Filter room
  • Chlorine room

Standards:
The Lifesaving Society applies the standards found in Alberta government regulations, guidelines and protocols, together with its own aquatic safety standards developed as a result of research, experience, and findings from drowning data.

Time and Timing:
Allow approximately one hour for an Aquatic Safety Inspector to complete a facility inspection. Inspectors do not require exclusive use of the facility. Inspections may take place at any time except during facility shutdown periods when the pool tank has been emptied or when the filter system is shutdown.

Social Networking = Social Marketing

by Todd Reade

Presented at 2009 ARPA Conference and Energize Workshop - Traditional marketing and websites are increasingly taking a back seat to Web 2.0 approaches. Web 2.0 recognizes that a website – a static marketing piece (like a digital brochure) – is no longer enough to achieve success. Technologies like Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, and phpBBS are required to increase connectivity and engagement between your service population and your operation, and ensure that your outcomes are achieved. Web 2.0 and samples of the technologies that make it work – real-world examples and strategies that are replicable in your workplace.
