OSHA
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ensures that employees are safe and healthy in the workplace. OSHA requires chemical handling and bloodborne pathogen training for employees who are handling pool chemicals. The training ensures that employees are prepared and protected from personal injuries in the workplace.

EYE WASH
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and OSHA require commercial swimming pools must have emergency eye wash stations. Not having an eye wash station is one of the top OSHA citations. Injuries can arise when the corrosive pool chemicals come into contact with an employee’s eyes. Having a location to flush out the substances will protect employees from injuries.

ADA
The American’s with Disabilities Act requires public pools to be accessible for those with certain disabilities. Newly constructed or renovated swimming pools, wading pools and spas are required to have a specific number of accessible entrances and exits depending on their size. Many pools ensure compliance by installing pool lifts or sloped entries. Read more about ADA »

VGB
The Virginia Graeme Baker Safety Act requires anti-entrapment devices to be installed and maintained in commercial pools and spas. VGB protects swimmers from becoming trapped by the strong suction of pool drains. Read more about VGB and drain cover recall information from The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals or the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

AED
Automated external defibrillators are required at pools in some parts of the country and can save lives when emergencies occur. We provide an AED rental package where we take care of all AED registration, maintenance, training and more.
