BS EN 15288-2:2008EN 15288-2:2008 (E) 4 Introduction Pools come in a wide range of types, from water parks with thousands of visitors per day, through comm

21、unal pools, to hotel and guest houses. Such a wide range implies a gradation of the safety requirements, consider-ing the specific level of hazards. It should also be considered that in Type 1 swimming pools the user expects poolside supervision, while in other Types the user may not expect it. On t

22、he basis of regular risk assessment, the operators of swimming pools should take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of users taking into consideration the risks as well as the restrictions imposed by technical and commercial factors. Pool operators should also consider EN 15288-1, when carryin

23、g out risk assessments. This European Standard includes requirements, recommendations and notes. While compliance with require-ments is mandatory, recommendations indicate best practices and notes give additional information and/or explanations. BS EN 15288-2:2008EN 15288-2:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This E

24、uropean Standard specifies safety requirements for operating of classified pools according to clause 4. It is intended for those concerned with the operation and management of classified swimming pools. It pro-vides guidance about the risks for staff and users associated with public swimming pools,

25、by identifying the precautions needed to achieve safety. This European Standard has limited application to classified pools which consist of segregated areas of rivers, lakes or the sea. The requirements for safe working methods and supervision should be followed insofar as they are relevant. 2 Norm

36、 requirements 5.1 General operational procedure 5.1.1 General Pool operators shall follow four steps, considering the specific pool facilities and related hazards: a) prepare a written procedure on managing health and safety; b) identify the hazard, assess the risk (see EN ISO 14121-1), set related

37、procedures and instructions to pre-vent and protect from the assessed risks, distribute procedures and instructions and train the staff; c) define the organisation chart and the related roles and responsibilities; d) monitor the performance of the organisation and evaluate the results on a regular b

38、asis and adapt and improve the organisation accordingly. In pools where constant supervision is not foreseen, the requirements stated below may not be fully applicable but the relevant principles are always valid and shall be followed by the pool operator. NOTE Where appropriate, technical and super

39、visory roles can be combined. 5.1.2 Prepare a written procedure on managing health and safety Based on a safety concept the procedure shall include: a) the name and roles of key individuals and their responsibilities; b) a list of hazards and the safe systems of work or precautions for avoiding them

40、; c) the arrangements for dealing with incidents and accidents; d) the arrangement for providing the instructions, training and supervision to ensure that safe systems of work are always adopted and followed; e) the arrangements to ensure that employees follow the rules and precautions. 5.1.3 Define

41、 the organisation chart and the related roles and responsibilities An organisation chart shall be formulated, distributed and maintained. It shall include a functional job descrip-tion, and shall identify who does what, when and the results expected. 5.1.4 Assess the risk, set related procedures and

42、 instructions A specific risk assessment shall be performed for every swimming pool before its first opening to the user and shall be maintained and reviewed in any case every time there is a major technical change, an accident or a series of incidents. The aim of the risk assessment is to examine t

43、he aspects of pool operation that could possibly harm people. It shall: a) evaluate the severity and probability of the hazards; b) establish the necessary precautions; c) check what precautions have been taken, and act if necessary. BS EN 15288-2:2008EN 15288-2:2008 (E) 8 The necessary steps in a r

44、isk assessment are: d) identifying the hazards; e) deciding who might be harmed, and how; f) assessing the risk; g) take appropriate actions (eliminate or reduce it, or protect who could be harmed); h) preparing procedures and instructions; i) distributing them; j) training the staff; k) recording t

45、he findings; l) reviewing the assessment. The risk assessment has to be dated and signed by the pool operator. 5.1.5 Monitor the performance, evaluate the results, adapt and improve the organisation The organisation shall also consider audits at set intervals, determined by the risk assessment, and

46、every time there is a major technical change, an accident or a series of incidents. The purpose is to monitor the perform-ance of the organisation and evaluate its results. Actions to adapt and improve the organisation shall be taken on the basis of the evaluations and on the feed-back. 5.2 Pool saf

47、ety procedures/instructions 5.2.1 General Where it has been identified from the risk assessment that arrangements are required, they shall be in a writ-ten procedure. Procedures shall comply with the following structure: a) purpose; b) field of application; c) definitions; d) allocation of roles and

48、 responsibilities; e) description of process; f) controlled distribution (issue and recording of written procedure/instruction, controlled issue of the cop-ies); g) monitor and review (monitor the effectiveness of the procedures/instructions, periodic review, responsibil-ity of reviewing). In the fo

49、llowing paragraphs the essential procedures are listed. The operator shall add additional procedures, if necessary in relation to the specific facility and to the related activities.
