“The Pool Safety Audit, including a PSOP review from RLSS UK, has been incredibly valuable for ensuring the safety and compliance of our pools here at The Grove. The RLSS UK provided support throughout the entire process, and with these further insights, we can make informed decisions to enhance lifeguarding and safety measures at The Grove."

Debbie Rogers, Spa Director, The Grove

Our support includes:

Pool Safety Audits

This service assesses your pool's current safety standards against best practices, industry guidance, and UK health and safety legislation, as well as identifying areas for improvement to enhance the overall safety of the pool environment; this includes everything from signage to rescue equipment, lifeguard positions to emergency procedures, alarm systems to training records - giving you peace of mind that the experts have checked your pool.

Pool Risk Assessments

Our experienced team can review your current pool risk assessments, recommend improvements, or create new risk assessments to ensure they are suitable and sufficient with reasonably practicable control measures.

Mystery Visits

Our mystery visit service gives an unbiased view of your swimming pool operations, providing actionable feedback and identifying areas that may require improvement. As standard, this includes compliant lifeguarding and staff knowledge, which are essential to the safe running of the facility, with bespoke options available.

Lifeguard Zone Visibility Tests (LZVTs)

Ensure your LZVTs meet the highest standards by having them reviewed or created by the organisation responsible for developing the UK's industry guidance! LZVTs are essential to ensuring 100% visibility of your swimming pool by determining the optimal position and number of lifeguards required.

Training, Capability and Qualifications

We service the leisure industry with the most robust and detailed qualifications and awards; we can help you review and consider your staff's most appropriate training and qualifications. 

Pool Safety Operating Procedures (PSOP) Assessments

We know how important a PSOP is to any swimming pool. We offer a review or creation service, and, in both, we work closely with the swimming pool team to ensure all areas are covered and staff and systems complement operational needs.

Safe Swimming Pool Design Reviews

We understand how vital swimming pool design is and how simple changes can improve operational practices. Let us help you and your design team incorporate safety into your new swimming pool design (with advice from experts in their field) to make the right decisions that impact safety. 

And more...

If you have questions about your site, your responsibilities, what is reasonable and appropriate, and relevant legislation and regulation, our team will always be happy to help.
