It aligns with the guidance set out in HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools and meets the requirements of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. The talk also references BS EN 13845, the standard for non‑slip, water‑resistant footwear used in pool environments.
Practical steps covered include rapid water removal, correct placement of wet‑floor signage, regular visual inspections, appropriate footwear, safe storage of cleaning equipment, incident response, enforcement of the no‑running rule, refresher briefings, reporting of faulty signage or decking, and accurate daily logging.
By following these measures staff can significantly reduce the risk of slips, protect patrons, and avoid potential legal and reputational consequences. This also helps lower insurance premiums, reduces downtime for repairs, and demonstrates compliance with HSE expectations for swimming pool safety.
The guidance integrates slip‑prevention into daily operational routines, reinforcing the importance of proactive risk management and continuous improvement.
