Lifesaving Society 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
For a complete inspection, access must be provided to the:
- Entranceway
- Public and staff changerooms
- Deck
- Pool office
- Equipment room
- Filter room
- Chlorine room
Standards: The Lifesaving Society applies the
standards found in Ontario 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.
