Code
Prior to active duty, all members of the SAFETY TEAM shall be trained on, and receive a copy of, and/or have a copy posted and always available of the specific policies and procedures for the following:
1) Staffing Plan,
2) EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN,
3) Emergency closure, and
4) Fecal, vomit, and blood contamination on surfaces and in the water as outlined in MAHC Section 6.5.
Annex
The MAHC agreed that there needs to be a SAFETY PLAN specific to each AQUATIC VENUE. Training agencies, ANSI standards for public swimming POOLS, and AQUATIC FACILITIES all speak to having plans written, rehearsed, and reviewed for emergency action.
It is imperative that EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN training take place before the staff begins their work as an emergency can happen at any time.
Providing a copy or posting a copy for staff ensures staff has access to the information at any time.
