Scope of Work
The Risk Management/Safety Technical Committee will collaborate with all other applicable technical committees to ensure that safety-related aspects are addressed appropriately. This will include, but not be limited to, chemical handling and storage requirements (such as operator training for chemical handling, chemical security; emergency protocol procedures, response plans for leaks, spills, or other accidental chemical releases, chemical disposal, availability of MSDS, record keeping requirements, and reporting under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act). The committee will also address other safety aspects including, user guidelines/signage (e.g. diving boards, starting blocks, slides), emergency response & communications plans, severe weather closing, safety inspections, water depth, supervision requirements, pool water temperature, and safety criteria.
