Safety First
Friday, January 8th, 2010Think safety first because serious injury and even death can result from unsafe use of pools, pool equipment and associated products. The following are some examples:
Drowning – Although most drownings occur in natural water settings such as oceans, lakes and rivers, drownings do occur in swimming pools. The water depth of any pool is sufficient for drowning to occur. Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death, especially for children under five
Paralysis – Improper diving or sliding, alcohol consumption, horseplay, or roughhousing in and around swimming pools may lead to serious neck and spinal injuries including paralysis, in the form of quadriplegia or paraplegia. In form family and guests who will use your pool of the safety rules you have established
Fires/Burns - The chemicals needed to maintain your water chemistry are potentially harmful when stored or used improperly. If mixed with other chemicals, explosion and fire can occur. Read the labels on the chemical containers and follow manufacturers’ instructions. Always store chemicals out of the reach of children.
Electrical Shock/Electrocution –Water is an excellent conductor of electricity. Electrical shock or electrocution can occur in a pool if live electrical current flowing through appliances and devices including current from a telephone comes in contact with the water. Make sure all electrical devices are protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Establish safety rules and enforce them. Help ensure your family and guests are not victims of any of these unfortunate accidents.
