Water & Leisure Safety Consultancy
RoSPA's expertise in water and leisure safety not only covers leisure pursuits in or near water, but accident prevention around canals, rivers, the sea, or lakes. Since 1983, RoSPA has compiled national drowning statistics for the UK, providing a unique insight into the provision of safety measures at open water sites.
An especially important area of our work concerns safety at the increasing number of public and private sites, including shopping centres and works complexes with decorative water features.
Water Safety Audits
RoSPA consultants will conduct site specific safety audits of all indoor and outdoor water locations, and many leisure and recreational sites. Following the site audit, a detailed report will be made, including a general water safety rationale, aspects of risk assessment, risk controls and operating procedures, and further site specific recommendations.
Site safety audits of water features can be undertaken for:
- Urban, rural and dockland areas
- Swimming pools and leisure centres
- Marinas and water sports centres
- Beaches
- Ornamental water features
- Hotel leisure facilities both in the UK and abroad
RoSPA experts will also provide guidance for projects still at the development phase.
