Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) is launching a new series of webinars specifically designed to support leisure and aquatic facility managers and teams stay up to date with the latest guidance, developments and best practice.
Launching in October, the free Expert Webinar series will provide practical, accessible advice to help operators make informed and effective decisions that help keep their aquatic facilities safe.
'For years, RLSS UK has been the first port of call for organisations looking for simple, practical and helpful guidance on pool and water safety. Our new Expert Webinar series builds on this service, giving operators free access to specialist knowledge, advice and the latest industry guidance,' says Jo Talbot, commercial director, RLSS UK.
Designed for those responsible for indoor facilities, open water activities, lifeguarded and non-lifeguarded pools, each webinar will focus on a key area of aquatic safety. Topics will range from Guidance for the Safe Management of Open Water Activities to CCTV Monitoring Visibility Test for Non-Lifeguarded Swimming Pools, reflecting the breadth and diversity of today’s aquatic environments.
Each session will feature an expert-led overview of the latest guidance and industry developments, alongside practical advice and best practice that can be applied in day-to-day operations. The interactive webinars will also give those attending the opportunity to ask questions and explore issues relevant to their facilities.
'Managing facilities, leading teams, delivering exceptional customer experiences and meeting safety requirements requires a broad range of expertise. With the demands of day-to-day operations, keeping up to date with every aspect of safety can be challenging. These sessions are designed to provide practical, relevant information that managers and teams can take away and apply to their own facilities,' says Talbot.
Attendees can register for individual webinars by following the link below for the relevant session. All webinars will also be recorded and made available to RLSS UK members through their RLSS UK Account, providing an ongoing resource they can access at a time that suits them.
