Lifeguard effectiveness is a crucial component of any aquatics audit. Our staff will observe and evaluate lifeguards’ performance including physical skills; scanning, surveillance and recognition; and reaction during mock emergency situations. The evaluation of lifeguard performance will be based on the WASH Lifeguard Audit Rubric and be incorporated in the final audit report presented to the client.

Many organizations and facilities do not have the time, resources, expertise to implement a complete risk management program. Our Aquatics RISC Program combines world-class service with our industry expertise to provide each client with an audit solution that is a fully customized for your facility or organization. You meet with our team to discuss your needs and challenges and we design an audit program that is responsive to your unique operation.

We conduct site visits to observe and collect operational data to inform our assessment. Our audit report can facilitate improvement in: decision-making; risk assessment and implementation of risk controls; overall operational efficiency; and a continuous improvement program.

The audit report will provide client with:

  • Best practices designed to maximize efficiency and minimize risk exposure
  • Operational framework to mitigate risk and provide strategy to ensure regulatory compliance
  • Implementation strategy to promote both safety and business growth
  • Prioritization of resources to guide overall operational strategy
