Slide 1-

SWIMMING POOL HEALTH & SAFETY Gary Barnes, RS
Slide 2-

Why test pool water? Essential part of both Public Health and the general maintenance and life of the Pool. To assure both, the pool operator must do a number of simple water tests.
Slide 3-

Maintenance = Good Health Poor maintenance of the pool may lead to low levels of disinfectant (chlorine) and clogged filters that may place swimmers at risk for diarrheal diseases and skin, ear, and upper respiratory infections.
Slide 4-

DISEASE TRANSMISSION EYE INFECTIONS EAR INFECTIONS SKIN INFECTIONS CONJUNCTIVITIS VARIOUS FEVERS E. Coli 0157:H7 EYE IRRITATION CAUSED BY IMPROPERLY BALANCED POOL.
Slide 5-

Sources of Contamination Body discharges such as mucous from the nose, saliva, sweat, fecal matter, urine, dead skin. Street and workplace soil, body lotions, suntan creams, dust, pollen, air pollutants, animals droppings, insects.
Slide 6-

EXCLUDED! Persons with sore or inflamed eyes, colds, nasal or ear discharge, boils, or other acute or obvious skin or body infections, or cuts shall be excluded from the pool.
Slide 7-

EXCLUDED! ANIMALS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE POOL.
Slide 8-

EXCLUDED! ANIMALS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE POOL.
Slide 9-

FECAL ACCIDENTS Fecal accidents can release large amounts of contaminated material into a pool or spa at one time. Every pool needs an established procedure.
Slide 10-

FECAL ACCIDENTS MOST DIARRHEAL OUTBREAKS IN POOLS APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO ACCIDENTAL FECAL CONTAMINATION OF THE WATER BY SOMEONE WHO IS ILL WITH DIARRHEA.
Slide 11-

FECAL ACCIDENTS EXAMPLES OF DISEASE ORGANISMS: Cryptosporidium parvum E. coli 0157:H7 Giardia lamblia Shigella Giardia lamblia
Slide 12-

Cryptosporidium Major germ that causes outbreaks. Extreme chlorine resistance. Small size. Will challenge even the best equipped and maintained pool. Crypto in human intestine
Slide 13-

E. coli 0157:H7 Rare occurrence in chlorinated pools. Only two reported to Centers For Disease Control. High profile cases because of deaths associated with incidents.
Slide 14-

Germ-resistance to Chlorine Disinfection Times for Fecal Contaminants E.coli << 1 minute Hepatitis A 16 minutes Giardia 20-45 minutes Crypto 9600 minutes *1 mg / L (1 ppm) chlorine, pH 7.5 /25 C
Slide 15-

FECAL ACCIDENTS CLOSE THE POOL! Remove as much feces as possible. Disinfect: CT value of 9600 (where C= chlorine and T=time) Monitor hourly. Recirculate continuously Low volume: drain & disinfect Proper pH and chlorine to reopen.
Slide 16-

Part II: SWIMMING POOL DROWNINGS Gary Barnes, RS
Slide 17-

LIFEGUARDS THE CODE DOES NOT REQUIRE LIFEGUARDS TO BE ON DUTY IN SEMIPUBLIC POOLS
Slide 18-

DROWNINGS Children under 5 yrs Unsupervised Cannot swim Fall into a pool or pool cover with water on top
Slide 19-

DROWNINGS 75% Between 1 & 3 Yrs. old. Toddlers - Behavior change. 69% not expected to be near the pool, yet later found in the water. 20 Seconds to drown. Less time than it takes to answer the phone 75% Missing from sight for less than 5 minutes.
Slide 20-

DROWNING - NUMBERS 300 CHILDREN UNDER 5 YR OLD IN RESIDENTAL POOLS. 2,000 CHILDREN TREATED IN EMERGENCY ROOMS FOR POOL RELATED ACCIDENTS
Slide 21-

DROWNINGS - COST $2,000 FOR A VICTIM WHO RECOVERS. $80,000 FOR VICTIM WITH BRAIN DAMAGE. THREAT OF LAWSUITS AND $$MILLIONS$$
Slide 22-

DROWNINGS FOR A CHILD, DROWNING IS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY LOUD NOISE OR SPLASHING. DROWNING IS SILENT!
Slide 23-

DROWNING TO PREVENT CHILD DROWNINGS, THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR PARENTAL SUPERVISION. THE ‘BUDDY’ SYSTEM OF TWO CHILDREN DOES NOT WORK!!!
Slide 24-

DROWNINGS Second largest category is male teens. Drinking and diving End up in a wheelchair, if lucky. Alcohol and spas are a deady combination: hot water and liquor = sleep = drownings in only three feet of water.
Slide 25-

DROWNINGS
Slide 26-

DROWNINGS Pools & spas are an ‘attractive nuisance’ Permanent barrier to entry. Non-climbable, self-closing, self-latching. Gate locked when not in use. Do not place chairs / tables so that child can climb over. Sight lines to monitor the pool.
Slide 27-

DROWNINGS Standing water of top of pool covers. Cover pumps or mesh safety cover. Solar blankets or solid covers removed. Entrapment by the suction of a single main drain. Entrapment of hair, small arms, legs.
Slide 28-

PREVENTION VISUAL SUPERVISION OF POOL. PHONE NEAR POOL & NUMBERS. RESCUE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY NEAR THE POOL. HAVE STAFF TAKE CPR CLASS. INFORM YOUR GUESTS.
Slide 29-

Part III: SWIMMING POOL CHEMICAL SAFETY Gary Barnes, RS
Slide 30-

TRANSPORTING CHEMICALS KEEP VEHICLE CLEAN & ORGANIZED. SEPARATE INCOMPATIBLE CHEMICALS DON’T PURCHASE DAMAGED CONTAINERS ANCHOR LOAD. OBTAIN THE MSDS & KEEP HAZMAT INFO IN THE VEHICLE.
Slide 31-

MSDS http://siri.org/msds/index.html INTERNET ACCESS TO THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATASHEETS - - THE VERMONT SIRI MSDS COLLECTION
Slide 32-

CHEMICAL STORAGE STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED AREA WITH A LOCKED ENTRY. DO NOT SET OUTSIDE IN THE SUN. DO NOT STACK CHEMICAL CONTAINERS ON TOP ONE ANOTHER. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Slide 33-

CHEMICAL STORAGE KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN! DUH!
Slide 34-

CHEMICAL STORAGE KEEP CHEMICALS SEPARATE. VIOLENT REACTIONS SUCH AS EXPLOSIONS, FIRE, OR NOXIOUS GAS PRODUCTION CAN OCCUR WHEN INCOMPATIBLE CHEMICALS CONTACT ONE ANOTHER. REPLACE LIDS AND CAPS FIRMLY AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPENING.
Slide 35-

CHEMICAL STORAGE NEVER MIX CHEMICALS TOGETHER! BE CAREFUL OF HOW YOU DISPOSE OF LEFTOVER CHEMICALS.
Slide 36-

CHEMICAL STORAGE POST THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATASHEETS AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION AND PHONE NUMBERS NEARBY--ALL STAFF SHOULD KNOW WHERE TO FIND.
Slide 37-

USING POOL CHEMICALS FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! IF THE LABEL IS FADED OR TORN, DON’T GUESS - - - RETURN IT TO YOUR DEALER.
Slide 38-

USING POOL CHEMICALS ADD CHEMICALS TO POOL WATER, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
Slide 39-

USING POOL CHEMICALS ADD DIRECTLY TO THE POOL OR THROUGH A FEEDER DESIGNED FOR THAT CHEMICAL. CHEMICALS ADDED DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMER COULD ALLOW STRONG CONCENTRATIONS TO HARM EQUIPMENT OR SWIMMERS.
Slide 40-

USING POOL CHEMICALS
Slide 41-

USING POOL CHEMICALS
Slide 42-

USING POOL CHEMICALS ALWAYS USE A CLEAN BUCKET AND SCOOP DESIGNATED ONLY FOR THAT CHEMICAL. LABEL THE BUCKETS AS TO USE.
Slide 43-

USING POOL CHEMICALS IMMEDIATELY CLEAN UP ANY CHEMICAL SPILLS. IF A VIOLENT REACTION OCCURS, CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Slide 44-

DRY SPILLS CAREFULLY SWEEP UP WITH CLEAN BROOM AND SHOVEL. PLACE IN CLEAN, DRY, PLASTIC CONTAINER. AVOID BREATHING THE DUST. IF POSSIBLE, DILUTE WITH WATER AND ADD TO POOL.
Slide 45-

DRY SPILLS DO NOT PLACE FLOOR SWEEPINGS OF CHEMICALS BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL CONTAINER--MAY CAUSE REACTION. DO NOT USE A SHOP VAC OR VACUUM CLEANER TO CLEAN UP SPILLED SUBSTANCES.
Slide 46-

LIQUID SPILLS SOAK UP WITH A CLEAN ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND PLACE INSIDE A CLEAN PLASTIC OR PLASTIC LINED CONTAINER. FLUSH THE AREA WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER.
Slide 47-

USING POOL CHEMICALS NO SMOKING
Slide 48-

USING POOL CHEMICALS DO NOT BREATHE CHEMICAL FUMES OR DUST. WASH SKIN IF CONTACT OCCURS. IF CHEMICALS SPLASH INTO EYES, FLUSH WITH WATER (ONLY IF THE MSDS DOES NOT ADVISE AGAINST THIS PROCEDURE).
Slide 49-

USING POOL CHEMICAL USE ONLY A WATER FILLED FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON A CHLORINE CHEMICAL FIRE. NEVER USE THE DRY TYPE OF EXTINGUISHER.
Slide 50-

Part IV: SWIMMING POOL REGULATIONS Gary Barnes, RS
Slide 51-

Rules & Regulations Chapter 15 of the Coconino County Rules “For Public and Semipublic Bathing Places.” Check the ‘Definition Section - 15-1-2 to determine the type of swimming pool operation you have . . . Which will determine the regulations to follow.
Slide 52-

Semi-public Pool “ . . . part of a hotel, motel, trailer court, apartment house, country club, health club, condominium where the primary business is NOT the operation of the swimming facilities and where admission to the use of the pool is included in the fee, or consideration paid or given for the primary use of the premises.” Reg. 15-1-2 (N)
