1 This Normal Operating Procedure (NOP) details the procedures in place for the safe management (under normal conditions) of the swimming pools located at Bedales Schools. Staff and those responsible for groups using the pool under a hire agreement must all be aware of the procedures to be used and must be trained to work in accordance with the provisions included in this plan. The Governors, (known collectively as the Pool Manager ) have a duty to check compliance with the requirement of this plan and to regularly review the provisions made in it. The plan will be assessed and reviewed from time to time on an informal basis by the Pool Plant Technician/s and on a formal and annual basis by the Health, Safety & Compliance Manager. Pool Manager At Bedales School overall responsibility and full accountability for the safe operation of the pool is held by the Governors. They will hold the title of Pool Manager. To ensure that all activities relating to the use of the pool are undertaken in a safe manner and all legal requirements are met, the pool manager will ensure: All relevant systems and procedures have been followed to ensure the highest levels of safety have been identified. All required risk and COSHH assessments have been completed by a competent person, identified control measures implemented and the information shared with all relevant persons (staff, hirers, contractors, etc). All staff have been provided with appropriate training/information to enable them to carry out their role in a safe manner. All required locally managed testing is carried out at the appropriate times, recorded using the relevant forms and copies retained for a minimum period of 5 years. Everyone connected with the pool has been provided with copies of the documents related to the pool and understands their contents. A rigorous system for the hire of the swimming pools to third parties (including all of the required background checks) is in place and comprehensive records are maintained. Pool use is managed in accordance with the guidelines laid down in the Health & Safety Executive document HSG 179, Swimming Pool Water -Treatment & Quality Standards for Pools & Spas and the standards established by the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG) who are deemed to be the industry leaders and whose standards HSG179 are based on. The swimming pool is maintained to a safe standard with all required testing and inspection carried out and recorded. Safer recruitment and safeguarding principles in accordance with the school s Safeguarding (including EYFS) policy are adhered to. Any other requirements that may be necessary to ensure the health, safety and welfare of anyone connected with the pool, its use and operation. NOP/12.16/V4.0 1/16

2 The responsibility for overseeing the management of the pool operation has been assigned to the Domestic Bursar. The day to day management of the pool has been delegated to a small number of facilities/support staff who are known collectively as Pool Plant Technicians. They will ensure that the required routine water testing is being carried out at the appropriate times throughout the day and that the daily running of the pool (including cleaning, routine checks, chemical top-up, ordering of supplies, etc.) is being carried out and recorded. Pool Plant Technician/s The pool plant technician/s have gained the level of technical knowledge required to safely manage a pool by completing the nationally recognised level 3 National Pool Plant Operator training course. The Domestic Bursar is responsible for ensuring that the required number of checks are carried out. These checks are required to ensure that the pool is maintained to a level where it is safe to be used. The training detailed above has provided the pool technician/s with the skills to carry out daily checks on the pool water chemical make-up, together with the knowledge and understanding of what action is required should the results fall outside of the industry standard safe levels. Remedial actions taken to rectify such situations are recorded and provide an audit trail from problem through remedy to restoration of normal operating parameters. See Appendix A for information on when our pool is in use: **Staff swimming is classed as free swimming and not managed (structured classes). There must be a minimum of 3 swimmers using the pool and this must include at least one person who has undertaken lifesaving training and is capable of carrying out a rescue from the pool. Below is a list of the checks that are carried out and the frequency at which they take place. Daily Checks/Duties a) Check emergency alarms to ensure there is no visible damage. b) Check emergency equipment is in position and fully functional. c) Carry out a visual check of all pool equipment and record. d) Carry out checks of; water temperature, ph, disinfectant levels and clarity of water a minimum of 3 times daily. The automatic dosing equipment should be checked against the pool water tests and standardised if required. d) Remove debris floating on the surface of the swimming pool. e) Ensure that filters, pumps, etc are operating satisfactorily. f) Ensure the pool water surround is thoroughly cleansed, with pool water, by a combination of hosing, mopping and scrubbing. g) Ensure changing room floors and toilets are cleaned daily by the domestic staff. i) Check chemical containers & top up as necessary. Stock is to be closely monitored & re-ordered as necessary. NOP/12.16/V4.0 2/16

3 Weekly Checks/Duties a) Thoroughly clean pool surround and equipment. b) Clean surface water skimmer baskets of debris. c) Backwash filter plant or renew filter material according to type of filtration plant fitted and ensure that the equipment is functioning efficiently. The pool should be topped up with fresh water (approximately 10% per week) (the procedure requires that the person carrying out the top up constantly monitors the levels and does not leave the pool until the procedure is complete). d) Clean the floor of the pool & equipment/floats used in the pool e) Sample and test pool water for calcium hardness, total alkalinity and total dissolved solids. f) Carry out a water balance test of the pool water using the Langelier test regime. Monthly a) Ensure a microbiological water sample is taken by a competent contractor for testing b) Carry out a water balance test of the source water used to top up the swimming pool using the Langelier test regime. c) Re-calibrate automatic monitoring equipment Three Monthly a) Check lighting and ensure that bottom of pool is visible at all times. Every 6 12months Ensures that the following is carried out by a competent contractor a) Full service check on the chemical control system (dosing & monitoring equipment) b) Internally inspect filters c) Verify that the system is functioning in accordance with the original design. Formal records are retained for all of the above and are located in the pool plant technicians office (for daily/weekly checks) and the Swimming Pool buildings folder located in the Facilities office (all other checks). NOP/12.16/V4.0 3/16

4 Lifeguarding/Lifesaving Training NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE (NOP) Where swimming is carried out in the form of a structured class under the supervision of swimming teachers/leaders and is deemed to be managed, the minimum requirement is for staff to have undertaken a Pool Rescue award. Where leisure swimming is carried out and is not supervised by swimming teachers/leaders, the minimum requirement is for qualified Pool Lifeguard training to have been completed. Lifeguards will be required to maintain their National Pool Lifeguard Qualification. Lifesavers will be required to maintain their National Pool Rescue award. With regards to lifeguarding/lifesaving responsibilities and pool lettings, the hirer must provide their own qualified lifeguards/lifesavers. Qualification levels and the number of lifeguards/lifesavers required are to meet the same level as required for curriculum swimming. Alternatively, lifeguards/lifesavers can be provided by the school and the cost included in the hire fee. Any hirer unable to provide a registered lifeguard/lifesaver for a session may not use the pool. The school reserves the right to randomly inspect the operation of the pool, the conduct of the Lifeguards/lifesavers and check their qualifications. Records are kept for each Lifesaver showing the dates of initial training undertaken together with refresher training and the qualification held (see Appendix B). The number of Lifesavers required for particular activities will be determined by the Head of PE. Key Tasks of Lifeguard/Lifesavers The role of Lifeguard/Lifesaver includes the following tasks; Anticipate problems and potential emergencies and act accordingly (e.g. swimmer out of depth, in path of diver). Enforce the pool rules. Control the behaviour of the swimmers. Give immediate First Aid in the event of injury (if qualified). Initiate emergency action (e.g. rescue) according to RLSS Lifesaving training. Initiate pool evacuation according to the set procedures. Communicate with the swimmers and educate them of rules. Communicate with members of staff - pass on or request information whenever necessary Observe the water and effect a prompt rescue (this requires the ability to use the equipment provided for this purpose, enter the water safely and swim). Dive to the deepest part of the pool (2.5metres), recover and land a bather in difficulty. Maintain water fitness/clarity. Whilst on duty, Lifeguards/Lifesavers should report any incidents to the Head of PE. NOP/12.16/V4.0 4/16

5 Poolside Rules for Lifeguards/Lifesavers a) Lifeguards/Lifesavers must ensure that they are easily recognised by users. b) Lifeguards/Lifesavers shall maintain an alert, upright posture and vigilant demeanour during poolside supervision. c) Lifeguards/Lifesavers who need to leave the poolside for whatever reason must clear the pool beforehand. d) They must not, for example, leave the pool to get floats or armbands. They should also ensure that their attention is not drawn from the poolside by the fitting of armbands. e) Lifeguards/Lifesavers must carry a whistle with them at all times. f) Lifeguards/Lifesavers should ensure that any conversation with colleagues or users when on poolside duty does not detract their vigilance. g) Lifeguards/Lifesavers should not have food or drink on the poolside, and should obey footwear ruling h) Lifeguards/Lifesavers must be in position by the poolside before bathers are permitted to enter the water. In addition, staff must remain on the poolside at the end of the session until all users have left the area. i) Lifeguards/Lifesavers are responsible for unlocking & locking all access doors to the pool before & after swimming sessions. j) The lifeguard/lifesavers should call other staff in the sports complex when appropriate. Duties when supervising lane swimming Position Mobile around the pool Area supervised The complete pool a) Do not allow swimmers to hang onto lane ropes or to climb out using them b) Changes may mean that the pool is sectioned off for particular reasons e.g. to allow lane swimming. Please be aware of this and adjust supervision accordingly. The Pool Plan of the Pool A plan of the pool is included in this NOP and details the following information: the location of the lifeguarding/lifesaving positions, areas of the pool to be scanned by the lifeguard/lifesaver (surveillance zones), position of lifesaving aids, maximum and minimum depth of water, location of fire exits, location of plant room, boiler room and location of chemical storage. A copy of this plan is also displayed in the main front entrance area of the pool. NOP/12.16/V4.0 5/16

6 Dimensions and Depth of Pool NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE (NOP) Large Pool The length of the pool is 20m and the width of the pool is 11m. It is of a traditional rectangular shape with a depth ranging from 1.25m to 2.5m. The shallow end of the pool slopes gently from 1.25m to 1.7m over a distance of 12m where it slopes steeply over a distance of 2m to the maximum depth of 2.5m. The pool has a freeboard of 2m all the way around and tiles. There are four entry points to the pool by way of steel steps with handrails. The pool is used for casual swimming (free swims by small groups of staff), competitive training, lessons, galas, water polo, lifesaving training and scuba diving. Small Pool Measures 7m x 4m and has a depth of 0.9m throughout. Entry/exit is via one large glass fibre step. The pool is used by small groups of younger children/babies for swimming lessons. Pool Capacity The maximum SAFE bather load (number of swimmers who can safely be allowed to use the pool at any one time) is; Large pool 30 max, Small pool 7 max. The maximum DESIGN bather load (number of swimmers per Turnover Period) is; Large pool 190 per day (5 hour turnover), Small pool 38 per day. *As identified by a competent person using recognised calculation methods* Lifesaving Aids (Emergency Equipment) Positions All pools must have emergency equipment. As part of the risk assessment process the Health, Safety & Compliance Manager, together with the Lifeguard/s, has identified the type of Lifesaving equipment/aid required. Details of the required equipment/aids and their location are as below: Reaching Poles wood marked, located poolside Lifebuoys Orange in colour, located poolside Soft Torpedo Buoys Red in colour, located poolside Throwbags Red & yellow rope, located poolside Throw Ropes Orange in colour, located poolside All equipment provided for emergency use must be kept in its designated place and be maintained in working order. NOP/12.16/V4.0 6/16

7 Safety Signage Positions NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE (NOP) Signs are particularly important especially where there are any sudden changes in depth and it is necessary to clearly mark the depth of the water, show areas where it is unsafe to swim, or there are slippery surfaces, for example. The Health, Safety & Compliance Manager has carried out an assessment to determine what signs are required. Pool Covers The pool cover in use at Bedales School is of a liquid blanket type (Heatsaver). This product is added to the water to create a non permeable surface on the water to retain the heat. Awareness of Risks Main Hazards and High Risk Users The Normal Operating Plan is reviewed and amended as necessary (minimum annually). The associated risk assessments are reviewed (as a minimum) every three years, or before this time if there have been any changes that may affect the suitability of the content of the risk assessment. Risk Assessments The relevant risk assessments have been completed by the Pool Technician in conjunction with those staff associated with the pool. These are checked by the Health, Safety & Compliance Manager. Information on the outcome of the risk assessments are shared with all relevant persons (staff, hirers, contractors, etc) and records of this retained. Copies of the current risk assessments are located in the sports office and on the main school intranet. Reducing the Risks All pool users must: - Observe the pool rules at all times. Only dive into the deep-end (shown by notices on the poolside and in accordance with the school diving policy). Behave in an appropriate manner with respect to other pool users. Co-operate with all staff with regards to the requirements identified for their health & safety and that of others. Report any unsafe acts, maintenance issues or general concerns to the pool supervisor/operator/technician/manager as soon as possible. NOP/12.16/V4.0 7/16

8 Pool supervisors will:- NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE (NOP) Familiarise themselves with the pool safety operating procedures (PSOP). Ensure that everyone is out of the pool area at the end of each session and that unauthorised re-entry is not possible. Understand that STRICTLY NO ACCESS for unauthorised persons to the poolside is permitted unless a supervisor is present. Ensure that the pool rules are adhered to at all times. Report any unsafe acts, maintenance issues or general concerns to the pool technician/operator/manager as soon as possible. Staff and authorised visitors are requested to report any damage or deficiencies in equipment or facilities to the Facilities Helpdesk as soon as is reasonably practical to enable the appropriate action to be taken. If the defect cannot be rectified immediately, then the area should be made safe/put out of action until the required work has been completed. This information should be shared with all relevant persons. Supervision There must be a minimum of one adult (over 16 yrs old) in the water when a child under the age of 11 is in the pool. One adult may accompany up to three children under the age of 11. Children under the age of five should be accompanied on a ratio of 1:2. Where groups of people with disabilities are using the pool, higher levels of supervision may be required. Swim Club follow the industry guidelines on supervision levels as a minimum. Access to Pool when Unattended Effective measures must be taken to ensure that unauthorised access to the pool is prevented, and at no time should the pool be accessible without the presence of a nominated Lifeguard/Lifesaver. This will include both invited and uninvited users during standard opening times, as well as the period when the pool/premises are closed. The measures taken to restrict access to the pool when it is not in use are as detailed below: The eleven access doors to the pool (detailed below) are to be kept locked at all times when not in use. 1. Two double fire escape doors. 2. Door from the boys/male wet changing room (access to pool via shower). 3. Door from the girls/female wet changing room (access to pool via shower). 4. Main double doors (shallow end). 5. Six patio doors NOP/12.16/V4.0 8/16

9 Access Rules 1. The eleven access doors to the pool are to be kept locked at all times when the pool is not in use. 2. No dogs are allowed into the building. 3. No student should enter the pool area without a member of staff present & should never be left unsupervised. 4. School staff may swim at agreed times (with the permission of the Head of PE), and having made themselves aware of the Emergency Action Plan. No staff may swim alone at least three members of staff must be present. 5. No members of the Bedales Swimming Club may enter the water without a qualified Lifeguard being present. 6. No scuba diving activity may take place without authority of the qualified staff. 7. No child may enter poolside until a Lifeguard and/or member of staff is present. They must wait before entering wet side changing rooms. 8. The swimming pool should be locked when leaving or arrangements made with the member of staff who is in the building. Locking/Unlocking Procedures Only authorised key holders may unlock the doors to the swimming pools. It is the responsibility of the key holder to ensure that the pool is clear and all doors are locked at the end of the session. It is the responsibility of all key holders to retain a copy of these PSOP s for their reference. General Swimming Pool Rules Please see additional requirements for Sub Aqua Divers, Bedales Swim School & External Organisations. Copies of the pool rules are displayed pool side and in the changing areas. Shower prior to bathing No smoking No outdoor shoes, prams or pushchairs on the poolside or changing rooms. No running on the poolside or changing rooms. No pushing, ducking, fighting, acrobatics, shouting, screaming or excessive noise. No spitting. No bombing. No fighting, bullying, pushing/throwing other swimmers into the pool. No jumping on to other swimmers. Only appropriate swimwear is to be worn: No cut-down jeans. T-shirts should be discouraged unless necessary due to medical condition etc. No nappies (children/babies must wear regular swimwear or special "aqua nappies"). No eating/drinking/chewing gum when on the poolside or swimming. No wearing of heavy jewellery, or any jewellery that may be a safety hazard or may injury the wearer or another swimmer. No faking injury or faking drowning. No behaviour considered dangerous or objectionable by any member of staff. NOP/12.16/V4.0 9/16

10 Swimmers must show respect for each other and must not cause any inconvenience to other swimmers Swimmers who are known to be visiting the pool for the first time should be encouraged, when possible, to make themselves familiar with the pool environment and design. Children under the age of 11 must be accompanied by an adult if the Lifeguard is aged under 18. If bathers hear THREE LONG BLASTS from the whistle, they should get out of the pool immediately by the closest side. No face masks, flippers or snorkels are to be used during casual sessions. **Persons who appear to be intoxicated, or are not well enough to be in the water must be excluded** Inflatable/Non-Inflatable Structures (e.g. floats, rafts) No inflatable rafts are allowed in the pool. No jumping onto floats or other inflatable buoyancy aids from the poolside. Diving/Jumping Rules Pool managers, swimming teachers and those involved in lifeguarding activities need to be particularly aware of the hazards of diving into water of insufficient depth. Diving into water of insufficient depth can lead to concussion or injury to the head or spine. The most serious of these accidents can lead to tetraplegia (total paralysis below the neck). The following types of diving are prohibited in all areas of the pool during programmed and un-programmed sessions: Backward dives; Diagonal dives; Dives without hands in front of head; Indiscriminate diving; Somersault entries; Diving should only occur at the deep end of the main pool and NEVER into the teaching pool. Running dives are viewed as dangerous and are prohibited. Running dives also increase the dangers of slipping and striking the side of the pool or passing swimmers. Shallow racing type dives are permitted at the deep end of the main pool only. NOP/12.16/V4.0 10/16

11 Pre-Swim Hygiene Rules for Swimmers Good pre-swim hygiene is one of the most important factors in maintaining a high pool water quality that is both healthy & enjoyable to swim in. The main reason for using chemicals, in particular disinfectants, is to counteract the pollution and potentially harmful bacteria brought into the pool by bathers. This could result in cross-infection from one bather to another. Trials have shown that pre-swim showering removes up to two-thirds of the sweat products, and a third of the bacteria that would otherwise end up in the pool. A shower removes five times more pollution than a footbath does. At Bedales School swimming pools, the pre-swim hygiene rules in place are Before entering the pool, bathers will use the shower to remove dirt/dust/grime. Bathers will use the toilets before entering the pool. Bathers will blow noses before entering the pool. Persons with severe athletes foot will not be allowed in the swimming pool or surrounding areas unless their feet are suitably covered Verrucae sufferers will only be allowed in the pool and surrounding area if treatment has been started or medical footwear is worn. Anyone suffering from any stomach upsets (diarrhoea or sickness) will not be allowed in the pool. Persons with any infected skin lesion will not be allowed into the pool. Anyone with a discharging ear infection will not be allowed into the pool. In order to protect the pool filter, all swimmers (especially those with long hair) will wear bathing caps. Cosmetics and hair products will be removed before entering the pool Hygiene Rules for Staff In order to minimise the dirt and harmful bacteria brought into the pool environment, all Lifeguards and supervising staff must ensure that their footwear is clean before walking on poolside. Plastic disposable shoe covers are provided to anyone accessing the poolside area to protect it from any dirt or harmful bacteria that may be introduced by dirty footwear. Recording Use of Pool It is important to record the usage of the pool in order to assist any risk management process, assist any accident investigation, assess the usage in relation to the water treatment and plant etc. Information on dilution rates (10% weekly), etc will be recorded by the Pool Plant Technician in the pool plant log book. This is located in the Sports office. COSHH Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations a COSHH assessment must be completed for all hazardous substances used in the pool/pool area. This will also include micro organisms that may be produced and have the potential to cause harm (i.e. Pseudomonas, Legionella, cryptosporidium). NOP/12.16/V4.0 11/16

12 COSHH assessments will be completed by the Pool Plant technician. Information on the outcome of the COSHH assessment MUST be shared with all relevant staff and records of this maintained. A register of all completed COSHH assessments is located in the Sports office, together with the pool plant room. The assessments will be routinely reviewed and the information regularly refreshed with staff. The Health, Safety & Compliance Manager will periodically monitor the accuracy of the COSHH assessment file against the chemicals in use to ensure they correlate. Delivery & Storage of Chemicals All staff involved in the handling of hazardous substances will receive appropriate information and training to ensure that they understand the principles of COSHH and how to handle and store substances safely. This will include information on (but not be limited to): Chemicals should be stored in their original containers and care taken to ensure that containers are kept tightly closed; that they do not leak and are clearly marked to show what they contain. Different chemicals should never be mixed and steps should be taken to prevent the possibility of accidental mixing. Chlorine compounds used must be kept apart from acid materials as mixing of even small quantities may cause rapid generation of highly toxic chlorine gas. Vessels used to measure or otherwise contain chemicals should be well washed out with water before and after use. When diluting or dissolving a chemical, where this is appropriate, always add the chemical slowly to the water, never the water to the chemical. Chemicals must not be stored in boiler rooms. Ensure that rooms in which chemicals are used and stored are cool, dry and well ventilated and secure and that they are kept clean. Rooms, cupboards and other places used for the storage and handling of swimming pool chemicals must be kept locked with entry restricted to specific PE staff who are authorised person/s. Spilled chemicals must be cleared away and disposed of safely following the suppliers/manufacturers guidance, washing down as necessary. Empty chemical containers must also be disposed of safely. Emergency arrangements for serious leaks/spillages are detailed in the Emergency Action Plan (EAP). NOP/12.16/V4.0 12/16

13 Fire Precautions All fire prevention equipment, such as fire extinguishers are serviced by a competent person annually (external company). Records are held in the facilities office. The fire extinguishers are located as per the building layout drawing displayed on the wall in the sports complex foyer. All fire exits are checked for ease of use, as a minimum, daily by the Pool technician, and structurally every term. This is carried out by an external company. The fire exits are located as per the building layout drawing displayed on the wall in the sports complex foyer. The fire alarm bell/sounder/s are checked, as a minimum, weekly by an external contractor. The fire alarms are located as per the building layout drawing displayed on the wall in the sports complex foyer. The fire alarm call points are checked, as a minimum, weekly by an external contractor. The call points are located as per the building layout drawing displayed on the wall in the sports complex foyer. Fire risks are regularly assessed as part of the school fire safety management system. A copy of the fire risk assessment is located at the Facilities Office and locally in the Pool Plant technicians office. This information has been shared with all relevant staff. Regular fire drills are carried out and records of the drills and any follow up actions identified are located at the Facilities Office. First Aid First aid requirements for the pool area have been identified by the completion of the First Aid Needs Assessment document. This has considered situations when the pool is in use during normal school opening hours and when the pool is used outside of school hours. COSHH assessments can be located at the pool plant room and the Pool Plant Technicians office - should this information be required by those administering first aid or need to be passed to emergency services. A copy is also held at the Health Centre. The level of first aid required (as identified by the first aid needs assessment) is: **Emergency First Aid at Work qualified staff** NOP/12.16/V4.0 13/16

14 The locations of the three first aid kits are: Poolside, sports staff office and the sports hall store area. The sports staff are responsible for checking the first aid boxes on a regular basis and should notify the Medical Cantre of any excess usage. Only minor injuries should be treated by the Lifeguard or PE staff (e.g. a cut). Should further treatment be needed, staff must call the Medical Centre or an ambulance. Communication An emergency telephone is available at the front of the pool area by the main entrance doors. In the event if a power outage, the pool staff have a two-way radio to call for assistance from the facilities team. This must be kept charged at all times. Notices indicating the location of the telephone alarm are displayed at the main door. Accident/Incident reporting All reporting and recording of accidents and incidents should be carried out in accordance with the school policy. The Incident/Accident Report forms are located in the pool plant technicians office. The completed accident /incident report form should be forwarded on to the Health, Safety & Compliance Manager as soon as possible. Setting up for Swimming Galas Teaching staff are responsible for setting up for galas and must report to the Sports technician if assistance is required. Fixing lane ropes The pool is divided into three lanes by fixing three lane ropes into eyebolts in the gully at each end of the pool. The lane rope drum must be attached to the wall at all times. The ropes should be unwound and each lane attached to the hooks. All users must be first shown this procedure by a suitable competent member of the Sports department. When putting ropes away, put one lane away & connect the ropes together on the drum. On no account must ropes be left in the pool hall, on the poolside or unhooked from one end only and coiled at the poolside. No students or unauthorised persons are allowed to use these lane ropes.
