You can’t be too safe when it
comes to pool safety. According
to the World Health Organization,
drowning is the third leading
cause of unintentional death
worldwide. Many things may be
done to prevent injury and death
when swimming in a pool, and
one of these is to ensure that you
have access to the right swimming
pool safety devices and
equipments.
Use a safety line or rope in a pool to separate the shallow end of the pool from the deep end.
These are hooked to the edges of a swimming pool and float above the water so that people
who can’t swim in the deep water are aware of their boundaries. Flotation devices are safety
equipment that includes life vests, or jackets, and ring buoys. Life vest should fit tightly around
the person wearing it to prevent it from slipping off. A ring buoy is used in case you need to
help someone out of the pool. It is a flotation device with a long rope attached to it, which
should at least be as long as the width of the pool. It is thrown to a person in need of it so that
she can hang on and be pulled to safety.
A reaching pole with a double blunt-end crook is similar to a ring buoy as they serve the same
purpose. Ideally, a reaching pole should be at least 12 feet long. Keep a cordless telephone
nearby in case you need to make a call during an emergency. In residential pools, having a
phone and near the pool is important so you don’t waste valuable time having to run inside
your home to get to a telephone. Install a pool fence at least 4 feet high around your swimming
pool to prevent children from entering the pool. Ensure that the fence’s spacing is small
enough so that kids can’t slip through the fence.
The Red Cross recommends that the fence is equipped with a self-closing, self-latching gate that
you can lock. Additionally, you may want to install safety pool nets or pool covers to prevent
children from drowning if they accidentally fall in the pool. Alarms may be used for both your
pool and for the gate around you pool. A pool alarm sounds off when it detects that someone
has fallen in to the water and a gate alarm sounds when the gate is opened. You also have a
first aid kit I case of emergency, and if possible, always have someone around who knows how
to perform lifesaving CPR.
Safety equipment helps to protect users from injury, and even death, which may stem from an
accident or dangerous situation. Specifically, safety equipment seeks to provide protection to
sensitive body parts of those who risk exposure or damage from participating in sports or work-
related duties. Safety equipment requires routine inspection and replacement to ensure
operational soundness and adherence to safety standards. Having the appropriate3 safety
equipment for a variety of circumstances and occasions ensures preparedness for numerous
emergencies which can arise at a moment’s notice.
