Safe Pool Operation

HSP-5.2

Pools, hot tubs, splash pads and other water features are a big draw for hotels and recreational facilities. Swimming is a lot of fun, but public pools can present serious health risks to guests and employees if they are not properly designed and maintained, and if safety rules are not carefully followed. Ensuring a safe and healthy pool environment requires that all employees who work in and around the pool area understand the basics of pool hygiene and safety, and how to protect themselves and others from harm. This course will provide learners with information about the chemical hazards, physical hazards, and recreational water illness hazards associated with pools, proper procedures for controlling those hazards, and proper procedures for responding to emergencies in and around the pool. This course is designed for all employees that work near pools, spas and other water features.
