Lifeguard Chair and Stand Design

The chairs/stands must be designed: 1) With no sharp edges or protrusions; 2) With sturdy, durable, and UV resistant materials; 3) To provide enough height to elevate the lifeguard to an eye level above the heads of the BATHERS; and 4) To provide safe access and egress for the lifeguard.

Chairs and stands are exposed to elements; therefore, they should be made to withstand the environment. The intent for such a chair is to facilitate better surveillance and such the chair should be elevated sufficiently above the heads of BATHERS to have a better view and combat glare. Considerations for the SAFETY of QUALIFIED LIFEGUARDS using these chairs should include access and egress as well as BARRIERS to unauthorized access if installed at an elevation.
